He sent me a video showing the cop hauling around a long corner and then lighting him up. Definitely no way he could have paced him. Mark pulled over right away. Once all this gets resolved, I'll let him release the actual footage for you guys to see. Promised an Update: Final resolution was ticket settled for +19mph (2pts) and dropped the earplug/earbud ticket. Total Cost: $150+Lawyer.

Its a lot better than reckless operation, 4 points, $150 fine, court costs, and license suspension. Don't forget your increased insurance bill $$$$$$.

Name of officer, date and time. Include the ticket number...the more info the better. If they dont respond in a reasonable time let me know. The next step is easy and fun...but if it is available you wont have any trouble. I said several times, do the request right away. They may have tossed it by now. http://statepatrol.ohio.gov/crash.stm Did the ticket go to trial? Sounds like a plea deal to me. Just curious. And now that it is demonstrated that the cop lied I would file a complaint against the officer. Edited March 31, 2017 by Tonik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bittinger from Feb. 19th 2017 at 15:24pm. The stop was of a green Kawasaki ZX6-R near Rt 70 and 800 in Barnesville, OH in Belmont County. Please let me know how I can retrieve this footage. Thank you very much. Derek Clouser As for the other questions, Mark was never involved, his attorney handled everything. He 'believes' it was all handled at pre-trial.

Once it's hashed out you show up to court and the judge ask what was worked out and if both parties agree and its a done deal. Just went through this last year with my boy.

PhilD'oh! Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Ohio has decided that officer footage, either dash cam or otherwise is public record, which you can request through FOIA and they have to provide unless its an ongoing investigation...i.e.; officer involved shooting or something similar. You may have to jump through some hoops to get it though, as every jurisdiction has slightly different criteria for the request. A lot of the time it's one poor dispatcher that has a ton of more pressing jobs to do, that has to dig out the info from a poorly planned storage and organizational system. Also, seems retention policies vary greatly. I'm told in the small city I live in, the two officer cam footage is only retained for 30 days.

At 45 days I would start looking into filing a complaint. http://www.ohiocourtofclaims.gov/alternative-dispute-resolution.php But I really don't think you will have any trouble with the Highway Patrol. Bigger cities are an issue, State is pretty good at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
