Introduced·1/19/26

Mississippi SB2614 authorizes sheriffs to use radar speed detection equipment based on county population and prohibits speed traps.

Mississippi SB2614 amends the Mississippi Code to authorize sheriffs and their deputies to use radar speed detection equipment on public roads, streets, and highways outside municipal limits. The number of units allowed is based on county population, with limits ranging from one to ten units. Radar use is prioritized in areas with documented speed-related crashes or complaints. The bill also prohibits radar use in speed traps, defined as sections with unjustified speed limits or inadequate signage.
