Ohio Residents Beware

[HummerJim]

So now they don't need radar or lasers, they can convict you by saying you looked like you were going too fast!

[dvl57]

that's just sounds unbelievable to be true.

This is nothing new... police officers have always had the "ability" to write tickets based on visual rather than radar or the such.

I guess this ruling now solidifies any further justification that an officer doesn't need equipment.

Reminds me of the urban legend that a cop gave a ticket to a guy for speeding.

When asked to see the radar, the cop said he was a trained professional and didn't need radar.

The defendant went to court and asked the same question in front of the judge.

When he received the same reply, the defendant took a pen from his pocket and threw it across the room.

He then looked at the officer and asked him "how fast was that pen travelling"

Case dismissed.
