Trotter v. Baca
After appellant was convicted of the traffic infraction of speeding, he filed a civil complaint against the arresting officer, the sheriff, the County of Los Angeles and the two judicial officers who handled his arraignment and trial. The gravamen of his complaint is that traffic infractions do not rise to the level of public offenses and therefore peace officers cannot make warrantless arrests for such infractions. The trial court sustained demurrers to the complaint without leave to amend and entered judgments of dismissal. Court find appellant's appeal to be without merit and therefore affirm.
