People v. Meyer

In People v. Meyer, 424 Mich 143; 379 NW2d 59 (1985) the police officer was not involved in the arrest of the defendant, but did swear to and sign the felony complaint against the defendant. Id. at 152. The trial court dismissed the case because of the officer's violation of 764.2a. Id. at 149. The Court affirmed the trial court's decision. Id. at 149-150. The Supreme Court reversed. Id. at 162. When the Supreme Court framed the issue of the case, it noted that because the police officer only swore to and signed the felony complaint against the defendant, "this case is unlike other cases wherein the police officer operating outside his jurisdiction arrests the defendant." Id. at 153, n 9.
