So now it’s “innocent until estimated guilty.” Wonderful.

The legal process had to end up costing Ohio more than the face value of the revenue ticket.

Ohio’s highest court has ruled that a person may be convicted of speeding purely if it looked to a police officer that the motorist was going too fast.

Hmmm: that looks like an effed up ruling.
I guess according to their logic, it is.
Unbelievable.

And 5-1, yet.

Thou are truly shLtting me.

The Ohio Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that an officer's visual estimation of speed is enough to support a conviction if the officer is trained, certified by a training academy, and experienced in watching for speeders.

And how does an individual get trained in observing abuse of power, tyranny, your honor?

Not TOO much of a disgrace, is it! I wonder if they can issue parking tickets to people who LOOK as though they might have parked illegally a while back?

Wow! That virtually means there is no defense to speeding tickets. With all due respect LEO’s can testify any time that they thought the guy was speeding and its a done deal. The lone exception would be a cross examination which significantly undermines the officer’s credibility, but that’s not so easy to do.
