11. Can the eyes of a police officer determine whether I’ll end up with a speeding ticket or not?
Unfortunately, yes… It’s the right of a police officer to give you a ticket based on their visual observations. In other words, they don’t have to use a speed gun to give you a speeding ticket.
Michael Kramer, a New York attorney, says that the visual opinion of a police officer is considered evidence, and it is actually more than enough to give someone a speeding conviction. So, if the court thinks that the police officer has approximated your speed correctly, your speeding ticket is valid.
As Columbo says, just one more thing…..

This was very well done. Even with the ‘millions’ of pop-up ad, the info was speedy without long delays. This is how all the gigs should be! Good job. BTW, I did have time to check out some of the products.
You specified the law in two states regarding a police officer’s right to demand identification. Is there a website where I can learn about the laws in the 48 remaining states regarding this issue?
Thank you,
