    Default Radar on private property

    In Ohio is it legal for police to sit on private property clocking speed? Do they first need written permission to do so, if legal?

    Can I refuse them the right to do so if it is my property?

    you might try asking nicely first, before looking into the legality of it. my office has a narrow driveway into the parking lot, and we are located on a highway with a lot of traffic, over a blind hill. speeders have caused many wrecks in this area, due to the hilliness and plethora of driveways. cops often speedtrap from across the street, at a busniess undergoing renovation, but they also started to trap here at my office, which, on my drvieway, made it difficult for customers to pull in. i approached the officer, and asked him nicely if he could move to a new area, and explained my predicament with the narrow driveway, he had no problem with it, and even reported it to his superiors, i havent had a single cop car blocking my driveway since.

    As the other poster said, ask nice first.

    However, if it were me, I'd want cops on property!
