Ohio Supreme Court Upholds Speeding Ticket By Visual Guess

It's been like that in New York for decades. I was ticketed near Watertown NY, back in the early '90s, for doing 72 in a 55. I was doing more like 65, but the trooper's "visual estimation of speed" was considered to be valid even though it didn't involve timing between two fixed points, as would be the case with a system like VASCAR.
