If I remember MS law correctly, Constables in MS cannot receive fees for any actions that take place on a US highway. I think that law was probalby written back in the days when the US Highways were the prinipal highways for interstate travel. I could imagine some Constables setting up speed traps on interstate travel to make a living. I could be offbase on that law being enacted, but that is the only reason I could think of why they cannot receive fees. Or could it be to keep the Constables off the highways and into the remote areas to supplant the sheriff?
