Ohio’s New Traffic Stop Law | Columbus News

Passengers face the same if officers have reasonable suspicion of a motor vehicle violation. Law enforcement says the law eliminates confusion, speeds up stops, and reduces dangerous standoffs. Critics warn social media advice is fueling tension, but the bill aims to keep interactions safe and efficient. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
