If someone with such a plate blows by a patrolman in some states (like maybe Ohio), they’ll be stopped and detained until the vehicle’s registration and ownership can be verified. And, the ticket will be issued.

An Ohio Highway Patrol officer would ticket their own mother for going 10 over the speed limit. They mean business, and a bigwig from some hard-left legislature in another state isn’t going to be able to claim immunity.

OH and NC highway patrols have been extra tough on speeding drivers for decades.

An Ohio Highway Patrol officer once told me to get off his highway via his loudspeaker. He did not give me a ticket. This was 1993.

I complied and went via the local roads.

It must be Be Nice to Mom Week in Ohio. I thought the penalty for ten over was summary execution. (just kidding,...sorta).

One should always be correct in describing anything to do with the state of Ohio, hereafter correctly referred to as THE State of Ohio.

That wasn’t just “An Ohio Highway Patrol officer” that you encountered.

What you encountered was “An THE Ohio Highway Patrol officer”.

Example: “I was just tooling around in my little red convertible in THE State of Ohio last week when, out of nowhere THE Ohio State Trooper pulled up beside me, waving his THE Ohio State Trooper arms pointlessly in a typical THE Ohio State Trooper manner, driving his THE Ohio State Trooper copcar erratically in rhythm with his THE Ohio State Trooper arm spasms. Does THE Ohio State know that their are served thusly by these THE Ohio State Troopers?”

Hopefully this helps.

If I could be a MichiganState Police traffic enforcement for just one day, I’d love to have responsibility for the Michigan/THE Ohio border. It would be fun to concentrate on and ticket every THE Ohio plated vehicle that crosses that border and automatically accelerates to 10 or more mph over the speed limit which appears to be almost every one of them. Heck, I ‘d nail them for three over just like the road dogs in THE Ohio are known to do.

It has nothing to do with the THE Ohio State/People’s UofM rivalry either. I celebrate when the whiny wimps on the Huron are defeated especially by The Ohio State.
