Police using Digital Odometers to their advantage...

I was on the road yesterday, and I saw a Civic with one of those digital odometers. Could a police use that as evidence of speeding?

not unless there was a digital clock right next to it

Take EZ Pass for example. The distance between two toll locations divided by the time it took to travel between the two locations would give you the average speed. If that average speed is above the speed limit, it's basically proof that you were speeding.

Also known as a speedometer, not odometer.

It only known as speedometer, lol
 
If the cop was pacing you see the readout he'd already know how fast you're going. AFAIK those digital speedometer readout have no such "memory" or "history" feature.

If the cop can see the digital readout of a speedometer he already knows just how fast you are actually going.

as putunz sid. odemeter=miles traveled and speedometer=speed


I soppose the odemeter could be usefull if they are timeing you and can see the odemeter. but then they could still do it anyway.

Not unless they could prove that space-time didn't fold or wrinkle between points A and B.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, I own one of those damned Civics and the spedometer is indeed too damned huge. I keep it turned down to almost off position because everyone and their mother can read it clearly if I have it even 1/4th of the way up. lol

EZPASS information cannot be used for handing out speeding tickets though. It says so on their website.

Doesn't change the fact that a system such as EZ Pass could be used for exactly what I described in the future.
