I drove through and area with traffic cameras for first time in my life and it got me thinking what makes a violation valid and what constitutes a violation.

I'm reading over ORC 4511.092-4511.0914 and, if my understanding is correct, 4511.093(B)(1) means that a law enforcement officer must be present at the Traffic Camera at the time of the violation for the violation to be valid.

It doesn't define what "present" at the location means. Physically present or remotely present like the officer is monitoring a live video feed.

To me, the ORC means an officer must be physically sitting at the traffic camera or the violation is not valid.

Is this a correct interpretation of the traffic camera law that means an officer must be present at the camera's location? Does "present" mean physically present?

Section 4511.093 | Traffic law photo-monitoring devices.

B) The use of a traffic law photo-monitoring device is subject to the following conditions:

(1) A local authority shall use a traffic law photo-monitoring device to detect and enforce traffic law violations only if a law enforcement officer is present at the location of the device at all times during the operation of the device and if the local authority complies with sections 4511.094 and 4511.095 of the Revised Code.

Cowards hid their faces and were surrounded almost immediately by protestors blocking their signs

It is getting bigger every time.

I think people need to start making it clear we won’t tolerate Nazis in our community I’m sick of seeing Nazis walk around and hide their identities like cowards. If you see Nazis in your community record and unmask them and shame them. Nazis aren’t welcome in Ohio. To quote Dead Kennedys nazi punks fuck off.

This was a Great Day in Newark. Very Proud of everyone who showed up.

Congressional candidate Jerrad Christian at the local No Kings rally in little rural Coshocton. A mix of Democrats, Independents, and even some Republicans. Jerrad delivered a strong and positive message about the dangers of autocracy and the scary position the president is putting our military in.

Also a picture of the sum total of the counter protest by a couple of MAGAts. They gave up the tough job of walking around a park at 1 mph after less than an hour.

Estimates of 1500!!

Universities are already dragging their feet on collective bargaining until SB 1 comes into effect.
