IBaileyNeed Assistance -- citation to authority for peace officer to notarize affidavit
I just tried to post this but my internet crashed ... sorry if this is a duplicate.
I have been asked where the authority is for a peace officer to sign a probable cause affidavit as a notary ... I know the legislature made this change a few years ago, but I can't find the law.
Anyone???
Thanks,
Ilse Bailey
