COLUMBUS, Ohio - 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.
The court upheld a lower court's ruling against a driver who challenged a
speeding conviction that had been based on testimony from police officer in
Copley, 25 miles south of Cleveland. The officer said it appeared to him
that the man was driving too fast.
