Can a police officer detain active duty military personel?

[Dhalton M]

I heard that if you are on orders or you are in uniform and are active duty military that they can't touch you or even arrest you is this true

That is not true. They can be arrested for any crime.

 

[≈ ♥ Why not? ♥ ≈]

Yes they can touch you and arrest you.

I remember a similar question that I asked my dad when I was little, "Can a policeman arrest a judge?" (since the judge is the one that sentences the ones who get arrested). The answer is yes, a policeman can arrest a judge.

Coherently, if a person is committing a crime he / she can be arrested. However, if a place is under martial law then I believe the military has more power over anyone. I doubt a situation would arise where the military personnel would be committing a crime under martial law; the situation would be too serious.

if they have done something illegal and thought to have done something illegal, then YES.. a cop can detain them.. a uniform does not give them a free ticket out of jail.
