Ruling by the Ohio Supreme Court says that cops can ticket based on seeing a car speeding.
This is odd… The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled in a case that a police officer’s estimate that a car was going 73 miles an hour was acceptable enough to give the person a ticket. Even though the officer’s radar (which the court determined he was not qualified to use) read 83 miles per hour and the officer had apparently just decided to write the ticket for 79 miles per hour. I especially like the part where the ticket places the driver in a different lane than the one she claimed
to occupy.
I’d love to hear the actual details of the case as the difference between my immediate perception of what should have been decided by a Supreme Court and what was decided usually differs. Then when I hear the actual case details and the points that were argued the court’s decision makes sense.
