Tourists Avoid Ohio Over Aggressive State Patrol Tactics
Columbus AP reports that promoters and bus operators stay away from Ohio due to aggressive highway patrols and frequent speeding tickets. Superintendent Jack Walsh defends high visibility as deterrence, noting no unmarked cars and focus on dangerous areas, with weekend patrols peaking 70 to 80 percent. Nationwide DUI arrests and statewide fatality trends are cited to explain reduced deaths since 1979.
