Lest you think my view of the Rule of Law being dead in America is unjustified:
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. 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. The court’s 5-1 decision says independent verification of a driver’s speed is not necessary.
With this helpful new judicial technique, I have no doubt that crime clearance and conviction rates will skyrocket, making for a safer, crime-free America! This is practically a perfect example of subjective law. Why even bother with actual written speed limits at this point when we can simply leave it to the discretion of the favored class to decide who is going too fast at any given moment.
