June 02, 2010 | Posted in: DUI & Traffic Defense Misc NewsAccording to a 5-1 decision, the Ohio Supreme Court made a ruling that a trained police officer can cite you for a speeding ticket by visual estimation alone.
The Ohio Supreme Court ruling stated “A police officer’s unaided visual estimation of a vehicle’s speed is sufficient evidence to support a conviction for speeding…if the officer is trained” Although, the 27-year-old Akron area resident took the case to trial and fought the ticket, he lost at the highest level after the Supreme Court ruled in the officer’s favor.
