Reasonable Traffic Enforcement Act
LGC 18.1 Shall be amended as follows:
1. Any Police Officer or Prosecutor in Lincoln is prohibited from issuing a traffic ticket, or any other consequence, for a violation of the speed limit, provided the alleged speed is less than twenty (20) ten (10) miles over the posted limit, unless:
- the ticket or warning is being issued as a result of a collision
- the speed limit is less than 30 miles per hour
- The offense is occurring in a school zone, regardless of the limit currently in effect, and/or
- the officer is citing careless or reckless driving (or similar), and factors beyond speed prove their case.
2. States and localities may not modify speed limits for the sole purpose of circumventing this law.
3. Any currently pending court case relating to any matter listed above is hereby dismissed and expunged.
4. Any prior court case relating to any matter listed above shall be immediately and retroactively dismissed and expunged, and removed from any driving record.
5. Privately-owned roads are not required to post a speed limit, and drivers cannot be ticketed for allegedly speeding on a privately-owned road.
6. Traffic enforcement cameras that collect photographic or video recordings shall be forbidden on all public roads.
7. Collection of tolls will be forbidden on all public roads.
I made a mistake in my inaction on this bill, but I hope the court will consider these changes in good faith.
