If he has jurisdiction where the stop occurred, yes (some cities/counties give all police county wide jurisdiction and I believe that Indiana gives all officers statewide jurisdiction). If a traffic offense occurred in his presence and and in his jurisdiction and he can articulate why he waited 11 miles to conduct the stop (ie waiting for backup or a what have you) then in most any state the answer is yes.

Cops can do anything they want, but that's why you get a lawyer.
A fair lawyer could get any arrest made in the case you state dismissed without prejudice rather easily.

I think it really depends on the circumstances- giving them a reason to pull over a driver, if officer suspect a person driving on a suspended license or may lead to believe that the driver is intoxicated. The officer may detain the driver long enough only to confirm his suspicions in order to make an arrest.
My son died in 2003, my ex-wife and I had 50/50 custody prior to his death - I now have the need to become "Administrator of Estate" on his behalf. How do I do this? What documents do I need? Can I do this without his mother getting involved?

If a sex offender tells another person that they were commited of the crime years ago and this other person asks them to watch her kids and the sex offender agrees can he still get into trouble even if there were no signs of molestation?

If a cop runs a license plate outside a bar and finds out the driver has had a previous DUI conviction, can the cop then wait until the person leaves to pull them over? (In this case a town cop, followed this driver through 3 towns and 11 miles)
