Hollister,Ca. seems to believe it is Okay for one of their Police officers to hand over one of their DUI arrests/collars to the transporting officer and allow him to show up at court to testify to facts they did not witness.
They were not there during the pull over and most of the arrest.
They praise the officers around here for SHARING their busts with fellow officers with less experience. Is this legal?
Confused in Hollister,CA.

i think you may be confusing two different matters. Probably any peace officer can make the arrest on probably cause [the other officer's statements] but i court an officer can only testify as to what they actually observed.
