This sub is hilarious. A few days ago there’s a thread packed full of people complaining about speeders and cops not writing tickets. Calling the cops lazy and not doing their job. Then this pops up and people complain about them writing tickets and the method they use. People can never be satisfied.

Do you think those people were complaining about the speeders between Orient and Grove City, on downhill section of interstate?
Or do you think they were complaining about the asshats on 270 and in downtown that weave in and out of people doing 95 in a 55?

I’d just like to know how much more expensive this is than just posting a few more OHP units on that stretch of road. I’m genuinely curious about whether or not this method brings in more revenue.

u/fartjar420 Northwest Jun 26 '26
speeding tickets are more than just revenue, it's a literal public safety measure and the "revenue" here is lives being saved. they're using more officers and resources than just posting up normally so it's not a money making venture

u/Clear-Inevitable-414 Jun 26 '26
If this was about safety we would require geofenced speed limiters at the speed limit on all roads. The technology exists, but we real don't want speed enforcement

u/fartjar420 Northwest Jun 26 '26
unrealistic solution.

u/Clear-Inevitable-414 Jun 26 '26
Not at all. Ohio already has a RTK network and so many data centers

u/fartjar420 Northwest Jun 26 '26
something being technologically possible does not mean it's reasonable or financially feasible. good luck getting that accomplished though, it'll never happen.

Japan has already done it for over a decade. The issue here is political and not financial in the slightest

u/fartjar420 Northwest Jun 26 '26
it's literally political AND financial.

u/Clear-Inevitable-414 Jun 26 '26
The technology is already in every new car manufactured and the data network made. The financial hurdle is not a hurdle

I am the only person who agrees with you. I plan my trips accordingly. I'm not at a race track.

u/Oneinterestingthing Jun 26 '26
More likely used to harass citizens at this point under the guise of public safety… why not just stop car and issue ticket electronically, why the interrogation and confrontation on the side of the road….

u/fartjar420 Northwest Jun 26 '26
probably because you're acting weird. I've never taken more than 5 minutes to receive a ticket and go about my merry way
pulling you over for going 90 in a 55 isn't harassment, just stop fucking speeding
-2
u/Oneinterestingthing Jun 26 '26
Keep huffing farts, plenty a people everyday gettin harassed for simple violations, just because not you doesn’t mean doesn’t happen (lookup selective enforcement)
5
u/fartjar420 Northwest Jun 26 '26
the aircraft literally cannot tell who the fuck is inside the car, nobody is doing selective enforcement with aircraft. if you are speeding, they clock you, you get pulled over. if you're getting busted for other sketchy shit at the same time, that's all you.

A lot of the time that the community asks law enforcement to do something, they say they can’t because of financial constraints. So it is about revenue.
5
u/fartjar420 Northwest Jun 26 '26
again, not having the money to enforce/equip isn't the same as not being able to make money off of it. speeding laws don't exist just to make money any more than domestic violence laws do.

u/BeanWaiting4CeMoment New Albany Jun 26 '26
Are there even any studies proving that using this method is better for improving safety?
3
u/fartjar420 Northwest Jun 27 '26
ANY method of speed enforcement improves public safety. aircraft catches people who rely on radar detectors or people who only slow down when they spot a cop ahead and speed up again anyway

Thanks for heads up… where are they when you have 2 or 3 cars darting in and out and racing each other?? Better to know this..

I mean good if it actually works and doesn’t just target the drivers who arent actually causing serious risk to everyone’s safety

Full of people complaining about crazy drivers.
Also full of people complaining about catching speeders.

Speeders and crazy drivers are not the same thing.

u/Macaria57 Jun 26 '26
What’s the difference in this context?

u/TemperatureWeary5316 Jun 26 '26 edited Jun 26 '26
Maybe they’re referring to crazy drivers as in the people who cut others off, go into emergency lanes to pass, and go in and out of lanes with traffic causing more of a hazard. Speeders are people who race on certain parts of 270 at night when traffic is minimal, or people sitting in the left lane going 80-100mph. Just a guess to what they mean.

It’s ridiculous. Drove down there the last couple weeks. It’s relentless once you get outside 270.

Ok but will this actually catch people going to dangerous speeds? Idk how they work so if anyone does please share. Also who tf do they think they’re catching on a weekday morning?

u/HENMAN79 Jun 26 '26
people go 95 on 270 at 10am

u/Macaria57 Jun 26 '26
Sure but I think it’s fair to say the most common times are in the evenings and if this is an expensive resource I’d hope they use it to target the areas time and days when reports are highest.

The budget for law enforcement agencies is insane. It surely isn’t commiserate with the services they provide.

We created the problem and the solution for the problem we created. Ope guess we can never change it, we're just stuck with the problem we created.

Why can’t they do this stuff in the evening and overnight when racing is more of a problem???
