From the opinion by the Washington Court of Appeals:
We hold that, because he did not commit any traffic violations involving the operation of a motor vehicle, the State lacked the jurisdiction necessary to prosecute Pink, an enrolled tribal member, for allegedly unlawfully possessing a firearm in violation of RCW 9.41.040 on SR 109 within the Quinault Tribe lands.

LOS ANGELES – When attorney Carole Goldberg was asked by a law professor at Stanford Law School in 1970 to research Public Law 280 for a book he was writing, she produced a 100-page paper.
The subject intrigued her, she told Indian Country Today.
Now, 38 years and dozens of articles later, Goldberg is an acknowledged expert on P.L. 280 and, with her University of California – Los Angeles colleague Duane Champagne, recently completed a 568-page report called ”Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice under Public Law 280.”
