Question

Help!!!

Answer 1

Local law requires that drivers drive no faster than 45 miles per hour on local roads. The law outlines punishments for those who speed. The penalty increases the faster the person travels above the speed limit. The most severe punishments are for those who travel faster than 20 miles per hour above the speed limit.
Signs post this law on most roads, but some sections of roads are missing signs. Local police stop a man traveling 67 miles per hour. He apologizes and insists that he meant no harm. His wife was having a baby and he was anxious to get her quickly to a hospital. The officer gave him a ticket and told him he will have to appear in court since he was going so fast.
Is this a matter of constitutional, criminal, civil, or military law? How do you know? ____________________________________________________________________________

Answer 2

Civil, unless it is defined that >20 mph over the limit is a criminal offense. In our location, >20 over the limit is a criminal offense. Since he wasn't arrested, it is a civil offense. Failure to appear will make it a criminal offense.

It's not constitutional law - nothing in the Constitution relates to traveling at excessive rates of speed.
Isn't military law - offense didn't occur on a military installation and martial law wasn't declared. It was a local police that issued the ticket.
