[MedicalConspiracies] Ohio Supreme Court Rules Officers Can Just Guess How Fast You’re Going ?

Below is a great blog/essay/comment on yet another asinine attack on citizens' right to due process and the rule of law ..

 

Add these 'expert'  guesstimates to the unConstitutional road blocks and checkpoints dubiously stated for drunken driving reduction which in fact are for revenue generation .. ..and add the fact that citizens no longer have habeas corpus, and that cops have been told they can lie to 'citizen's' to get evidence or to elicit incriminating responses; and that police have shield laws, a fierce union, and limited liability laws;  and that we are repeatedly seeing an increase in officer's use of excessive force and tampering with or inventing evidence ...

 

I guess guesstimates would seem logical in that environment and don't expect lawyers to object - those 'officers of the court' and their fellow guild members profit from the increase in ticket business ...

 

I guess we need to find a way to be declared a corporation to avoid the increase in court and domestic police action .. mmm ? crg

Ohio Supreme Court Rules Officers Can Just Guess How Fast You're Going | autoinsane

 

In what has to be one of the biggest violations of common sense and burden of proof  in motoring news this year, the Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that officers can "visually estimate" how fast a person is driving… and give them a ticket for it.

Thanks Ohio Supreme Court for giving cops the green light to make up speeding tickets.

Supreme Court Justice Maureen O'Connor said "Rational triers of fact could find a police officer's testimony regarding his unaided visual estimation of a vehicle's speed, when supported by evidence that the officer is trained, certified by (the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy) or a similar organization, and experienced in making such estimations, sufficient to establish beyond a reasonable doubt the defendant's speed. Independent verification of the vehicle's speed is not necessary to support a conviction for speeding."

Hey "Supreme Court Justices" why don't you guys get this part of what laws are supposed to do through your thick skulls. It's safe to say that officers might be trained to identify speeds, and they might even be great at it – but it blasts the notion of burden of proof being on the state out of the water. You didn't just blast it out, you nuked that fish to dry land. There is no factual evidence when officers have the ability to do this, "I think you were going 120 mph."

Where is the public recourse for police officers who abuse their abilities? We have to take an officer's (the state) word that we committed a crime? Did you guys even go to law school?
