Autoridad de oficiales de paz fuera de su jurisdicción

Explicación Simple

Los oficiales de paz pueden hacer cumplir la ley incluso si están fuera de su ciudad o condado. Esto sucede cuando están trabajando con otros oficiales o persiguiendo a alguien que ha hecho algo malo.

Es como un entrenador de fútbol que puede dirigir a su equipo incluso si están jugando en otro campo. Si ve que un jugador comete una falta, puede intervenir sin importar dónde esté.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que el oficial Juan está patrullando en su ciudad y ve a alguien robando una bicicleta. Si el ladrón escapa hacia un condado vecino, Juan puede seguirlo y detenerlo para asegurarse de que se haga justicia.
