Cornelius v. Kansas Dept. of Revenue – Authority of Tribal Law Enforcement Off-Reservation

This case concerns a non-Indian’s driver license, which was suspended after failing a sobriety test at a checkpoint controlled jointly by state and tribal law enforcement, just outside the border of the Prairie Band Potawatomi reservation. Unluckily for the appellant, the state and the tribe had a law enforcement cooperative agreement.

Here is the opinion.
