I can see if in the middle of the reservation on a reservation maintained road. Would.be hard to call the local law enforcement due to many if not all locals have no jurisdiction/authority on reservation land. But since on a public highway that goes through the reservation there needs to be some sort of cross sworn going on. I get reservations are sovereign lands but folks need to be held accountable for crimes they commit. How is it we hold foreigners visiting the US accountable but non-Native Americans cannt be held accountable for their actions on tribal lands. Seems dumb to me.
