OAG 79-395 is cited in the decision as the Attorney General reviews and ultimately withdraws the previous opinion. The decision reevaluates the interpretation of laws regarding the arrest powers of police officers for traffic violations, specifically addressing the classification of offenses and the application of KRS 431.005 in light of amendments to KRS 431.015. The decision concludes that the previous opinion mistakenly gave undue significance to the classification of 'violations' as distinct from misdemeanors, leading to the withdrawal of OAG 79-395.
