Ohio Speeding Case
2003

I had heard that in the state of Ohio a police officer can’t pull you over further than 1 mile from the scene?
Does anyone know if it isi true that a police officer can not pull you over more than one mile after the incident occured (speeding, failure to signal, basic stuff)? I understand if they are chasing you for more than a mile they can obviously pull you over, but what if they claim you did somehting (for instance following to close) more than a mile (in my case, about 3 miles) from where they pulled you over (I didn’t try to outrun him to get outside the one mile marker either, I stopped when he pulled up behind me from the entrance ramp, so how he saw me ‘following too close I have no idea….)…
I understand it might take more than one mile to catch someone, but I am talking about if I made a traffic violation and the cop doesn’t start to follow me until 3-4 miles after it occured. A better way of asking this might be; Is a cop allowed to wait more than one mile before he starts pursuit (following of any kind)?
That is untrue!!! However, what is true is that the person who told you this has done jail time!!!
