It sure seems legal to me. The police in Rochester have been doing something similar along Rt 65 for months. They get cars queued up to ticket them!
One officer sets up near the lines on the road, about a mile from where the other cops are situated. He records speed and radios ahead to the other cops waiting. I’ve seen a group of 4 cop cars simply ticketing speeders during morning/evening rush hour.
Legal? Sure
Underhanded? Sure, a little bit
Guilty of speeding regardless? Yep.
Suck it up, plead to a no-points offense, pay the fine, and move on.
Police generally obtain permission from the property owner when setting up a speed observation point. Very few business owners will deny permission. They want to stay on the good side of the local department. I have seen police sit in residential driveways to watch for people blowing through stop signs. I saw a Hampton cop ticket a couple dozen cars in a few hours in a housing plan doing that.
no I knew about it but I was in a hurry :surprise:
Your all getting it wrong. I know i was speeding and I plan on going in to get the 5 over no points reduction bla bla bla… i was asking a question in general. I could care less about the fine, ill pay my mccandless dues and continue on my way lol.
really? because you have 5 posts in this thread… so it must not be that unbelievable if its attracted this much of your attention.
:doh:
nope but they make people slow down… especially when they are new. my street is a pretty decent hill. i’ve heard people all the way at the bottom hammer it and be close to 90 by the time they pass my house… totally uncalled for in a residential. To many kids around to be doing that.
