Guess My Speed and Give Me a Ticket, In Ohio
quall writes "The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that police may estimate your car's speed and issue a ticket if they believe you were speeding. The hearing threw out a radar gun as evidence because the officer was not qualified to use it, but apparently his guess was good enough. If you make your way into Ohio, I suggest driving 5mph under the speed limit because this leaves little room to dispute your ticket in court. The only chance you have is if the issuing officer decides to skip your hearing."
I wonder whether the court would also accept a driver's own GPS log as exculpatory evidence.
The article indicates the driver was going about 15mph over the speed limit. I'd say that was relatively easy to identify by sight. So what the majority said, which is in fact "given the totality of the circumstances", such an officer's testimony may be held to be credible. If you can show at trial that the officer has borne you a grudge since high school, that may well be another story. And of course it's not in front of a jury - its $50, for crying out loud!
Really not doing much to change the stereotype of hicks-ville America are you guys. ......oh wait thats Arizona
You will be stopping and searching people on suspicion of being illegal aliens next.
And you aren't doing much to change the stereotype that costal liberals are faggots that get off on the smell of their own farts.

Just don't mention the dead nigger in the boot. I was taking it to the local dead nigger storage, but they were closed.

Such a leading question to make YOU feel like the asshole. Only three things you needed to say: "Am I being detained?" "Then I'm free to go?" "Good bye."
Criminy... Are you black or something?
You sound black.
You must be black
I've been stopped for suspicion of DUI before. Well, not stopped. I was standing outside my car talking to friends when the police showed up. The officer driving down the road, seeing us stopped and talking, could estimate my blood alcohol content. I've also been told I looked like I was going to buy drugs; speeding (without actually driving); and thinking about robbing a closed store (with my car parked in front, under a street light, on a busy street).
So, you're black.
you post like a little bitch.
and if I was the cop, you'd be bound, naked, and swallowing my muzzle brake.
bootlickers like you are why
