"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? |

TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
