Nonresident Violator Compact read that and see what it says about utah...

[stevo]

The Non-Resident Violator Compact (NRVC) is an interstate compact used by 44 states in the United States to process traffic citations across state borders.

Motorists cited for violations in a state that is not a member of the NRVC must post bail before being allowed to proceed.

When a motorist is cited in another member state and chooses not to respond to the ticket (such as not paying it), the other state notifies the driver's home state and the home state will suspend the driver's license until the driver takes care of the matter in the other state.

There are certain offenses where the Non-Resident Violator Compact does not apply. Those offenses are registration, weight limit, and parking. Some states will not take action on offenses like vehicle equipment and vehicle inspection if their driver has ignored an out of state citation of those offenses. Out of state moving violations are the focus of the compact and there will be no differences in focus under the Driver License Agreement.
History

The Non-Resident Violator Compact came into existence in the 1970s, originating from the northeastern states.

The Non-Resident Violator Compact is being superseded by the new Driver License Agreement (DLA) which also replaces the Driver License Compact. As planned by the DLC-NRVC Executive Board, when the Driver License Agreement is ratified by Non-Resident Violator Compact members, it will no longer be relevant.
States that are members

* All states are members except Michigan, Wisconsin, California, Montana, Oregon, and Alaska.[citation needed] However, not being a member does not mean you will not have your license suspended if you reside in one of these states.[clarification needed][citation needed]

Notes

* Most states will suspend your license if the other state or your state is not a member of the NRVC
* Most states will also issue a warrant for your arrest as well as sending the suspension request to your home state.
* If you are traveling through NRVC member states, and you are licensed in one of the non-member states, it may be a good idea to carry enough cash to pay bond for any traffic violations you are stopped for and required to pay before leaving.
* Being required to pay bond roadside is NOT a plea of guilt. You may appear in court on the date indicated on your citation, and if found not-guilty, should have the bond refunded.

Okay, what am I missing?

But I will ask this.. trubludude.. you have said many times how you cannot enforce a federal law about undocumented (read, illegal) immigrants not having an ID and being able to solicit work by standing in an area.

Are you saying now that you ARE able to enforce such laws and just choose not to do such? You have said many times that state licensed police are not allowed to enforce federal laws, which is it?

Pretty sure he's saying he can't enforce federal law outside of what he'd enforce within the state law. I do not know of any Federal Law that is not mimicked in any way by the state. Usually states will make laws that are tougher than Federal Laws.

But to answer your question. Yes local authorities have the power to enforce any law with in the jurisdiction of thier power. No matter if that law is a state law, local ordinance or a Federal Law.

I totally agree, except I have read several times (not on this site, but on the canada one) about how the immigration laws are only federal laws, not state laws, and being such that the local (read any cops in Texas because because they are ALL state licensed) cannot enforce them. I may (and probably) am wrong and if so, will be proved so shortly when a local law enforcement logs on and so tells us.
