Summary

Delaware law enforcement agencies are currently limited to making arrests for cell phone and seatbelt violations to only when the offense occurs in the presence of the police officer. This bill adds these two violations to Title 21, Chapter 7, 701 along with speeding and red light violations as offenses where an arrest is permissible when an observing officer relays the violation information to another officer and is in a position to verify that the appropriate vehicle was stopped.
