My question involves traffic court in the State of: Ohio
I received a speeding ticket in CROOKSVILLE ohio
I was traveling at 56 mph with my cruise set at 55 mph according to my guage.
I was pulled over in a 45 mph zone which was less than 1/4 mile long and was surrounded in the front and rear by a 55 mph zone which is why i had my cruise set at 55 mph.
Office pulled me over 1 mile into a 55 mph zone and cited me for 56 in a 45.
Office used radar to observe my car and stated he shot my car 2 times and observed me accelerating from 45 mph up to 56 mph.
It is my contention that this speed zone is not lawful and 56 mph is not an unsafe speed for this section of road which is indistinguishable from the 55 mph section.
I told the office i could have sworn this was a 55 mph zone which he refuted saying that the city was 45 mph.
I turned around and went back after being pulled over, the southbound side of the road had a 55 mph posted sign which overlaps the 45 mph northbound side. in 2 miles there is a 55mph then a 45 mph zone then quickly a 55 mph sign, i was pulled over 1 mile past the last 55 mph sign.
For the above reason i believe this ticket should be thrown out.
I want to request trial by declaration as this court is over 100 miles from my residence.
I called the court listed on the ticket and they dont know anything about trial by declarartion and asked me to send in the statute from ohio revised code showing it. Can someone please provide this for me?
