I was in Columbus OH. back in august at an ADRL drag race. When the races were over i was heading back to the motel on some 2 lane back roads I didn't pay any attention to speed limit and it was dark so i was speeding a little. Thought everything was ok. Got up the next morning and went home no big deal. Then about a week or two later I get a letter in the mail from Hebron OH. police dept. It was three really good pictures of my truck going through a intersection at 46 mph in a 35 zone. It was a 100.00 fine with three options. Pay the fine,prove that it wasn't me or truck was stolen or go to court. It sucked but i paid the fine. I you guys are ever in that area lookout.

So why the emphasis on speeding? Because it's easy, that's why. You put a Trooper out there with a radar gun. Aim and shoot. There you go, a record of how fast a car was traveling. There is no evidence there that the driver was driving dangerously. No evidence that the driver was failing to yield the right-of-way. No evidence that the driver was following too close. No evidence that the driver was making dangerous lane changes and cutting drivers off. The only evidence you have is that the driver was exceeding some arbitrary speed limit set by government. That's an easy case to prove in court .. much more easy than proving failure to yield the right-of-way or changing lanes without using a turn signal.
The issue here is money.
