Missouri patrol limited to highway enforcement by ruling
Attorney General Roy McKittrick ruled that the Highway Patrol cannot aid sheriffs in investigations unrelated to Missouri highways. The decision answers Governor Donnell's questions and narrows patrol powers, prohibiting assisting in nonhighway crimes, car theft probes, safety campaigns, fingerprint files, off highway investigations, and hunting escaped convicts.
