2331.13 Application.

 

Sections 2331.11 to 2331.14, inclusive, of the Revised Code do not extend to cases of treason, felony, or breach of the peace, nor do they privilege any person specified in such sections from being served with a summons or notice to appear. Arrests not contrary to such sections made in any place or on any river or watercourse within or bounding upon this state are lawful.

 

Effective Date: 10-01-1953

 

 

NOPE.... It's bullshit. Unless you are in a count proceeding on Sunday or on the Fourth of July. When was the last time you heard of anyone being in court on a Sunday, let alone the Fourth of July.

 

The only loophole is the church thing, being arrested going to or returning from church. And that is only being arrested, not cited for traffic violations which is not an arrest. And the disorderly conduct could be a charge if you were to resist arrest on the basis of this law, thereby cricumventing it's protection.

Actualy a citation is a form of arrest, however 90% of the time you get a ticket instead of actualy being hooked up and taken to jail. so by the letter of the law, if, say, you are on your way to worship on a sunday morning and get popped for speeding, you could very well get out of it.

 

I don't however think i will be the one to test this theory lol.
