If you happen to find yourself driving through Ohio this summer, be sure to keep an eye on the speedometer because ‘RoboCop’ has his eye on you.
While the State of Ohio has made no official announcement that it has enlisted the services of half-robot, half-human police officers, the Ohio Supreme Court last week confirmed suspicions.
According to the justices’ ruling in the case of Barberton v. Jenney, the State employs at least one police officer who is capable of visually estimating speed “beyond a reasonable doubt,” negating the the need to rely on radar or laser devices to issue speeding tickets.
Despite appellant Mark Jenney’s seemingly reasonable and rational argument that it is “impossible for a police officer to visually estimate the exact speed of a moving object,” the court ruled on June 3, “A police officer’s unaided visual estimation of a vehicle’s speed is sufficient evidence to support a conviction for speeding in violation of R.C. 4511.21(D) without independent verification of the vehicle’s speed if the officer is trained, certified, and experienced in visually estimating vehicle speed.”
What’s next, police officers who can read minds and make arrests based on a suspect’s mischievous desires? After reading this bunch of Nanny State nonsense, you better start thinking happy thoughts or be prepared for a day in court. ‘RoboCop’ is alive!
