In the article it's obvious that the judge heard the accused speeder try and weasle his way out of a ticket by questioning the ability of a cop to notice a car going faster than it should. He then stuck it right back in the speeder's face by saying 'cops now have the right to ticket you based on their judgement.'
It's not a ploy to get the government some more money (which by the way would be how much? 100 bucks a month - yeah that'll fill the coffers back up in NO time!), it's done to get whiney bitches like the dude caught speeding from wasting the court's time.
At any rate, I hate giving more power like this to cops because they already have enough power, and more importantly, they are not out to protect and serve, but they are in business to get dollars in the sneakiest way possible. I know that sounds like I just reveresed my statement from above, but I didn't. I honestly believe this Ohio law was not intended to bring in more money, even though that's what cops are there to do nowadays. Get my point?
Now let me add to the part about them being sneaky. When they put a plainclothes cop on a bridge with a radar gun that he hides when cars drive by him (yeah, saw that a few nights ago on Plymouth Rd. by Ridgedale), and he radios to a cop sitting on the onramp to come and pull you over, that has to be some kind of entrapment. I don't know if they get bonuses for pulling more people over and ticketing them, but they shouldn't. And there should not be quotas to fill in that regard. Man I am blabbing.
