Court says Ohio cops don’t need radar guns to ticket speeders

From an ABC News report at the link below :

Imagine a highway trooper pulling you over in the middle of your summer travel and declaring that you were speeding.

How's he know for sure? Because he says so; at least, in Ohio.

The state's Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the trained eyeballs of police officers are enough to hand out speeding tickets. A radar gun is unnecessary.

Most states, cities and counties claim that traffic citations are all about safety. However, in truth, traffic citations are more about revenue than safety.

By allowing a patrolman to judge speed by eye, Ohio will have a chance to increase their revenue from speeding fines.

It will be interesting to know if lawsuits and public outcry will bring an end to catching speeders by eye in Ohio.
