"The Prince George’s County police officer who pulled over a county councilwoman apparently driving more than 100 miles per hour on the Capital Beltway did not give her a speeding ticket because he did not have enough time to gauge the pace of her SUV, authorities said Wednesday."
"... [T]he officer, a 14-year veteran, did not use a radar gun to determine the speed at which freshman Councilwoman Karen Toles (D-Suitland) was driving before he pulled her over Feb. 22. The officer estimated how fast she was going based on the speed of his own cruiser as he raced to catch up with her, Davis said." ... -------
KABA Note: But in Ohio a policeman's visual estimate is sufficient for the courts. Why not in Maryland? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
