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. 1.is this a matter of constitutional, criminal, civil, or military law? how do you know? 2.is the source of the law a statute, regulation, case law, or combination? how do you know? 3.determine the purpose of the law related to the scenario. is th

Is this a matter of constitutional, criminal, civil, or military law? How do you know? This would be considered criminal law.  When you break the law, there are legal punishment for the committed crime.

Is the source of the law a statute, regulation, case law, or combination? How do you know? The source of law is statute.  This law is a written law that tells us what to do and what not to do; a local law that outlines the punishments (municipal law)

Determine the purpose of the law related to the scenario. Is the law intended to protect people's safety or people's rights? Explain your response and thoughts on what could happen if the law did not exist. The speed limit posting is to regulate people from speeding; which can cause accidents to parties involved.  This law is to protect everyone's safety and if it was inacted; people would drive however they want to and risk hurting someone or themselves.  In the scenerio, the father was driving 22 miles over the speed limit with his wife and unborn child.  If something had happened due to his over the speed limit, he could have harmed all that was in the car, hit someone else (if he hit another car or someone crossing/biking/ or whatever), or killed someone because of the excess speed.
Do you think the new father has a valid argument that he should not have received a ticket? In other words, should government change the law or make an exception? Use details from the scenario to support your answer.
The scenario says “signs post this law” and “sections of roads are missing signs.” If the new father had said he didn’t know the speed limit because he didn’t see any signs, he might have been able to get out of the ticket in court. I do not think that the law should be changed to make exceptions because how would you define the exceptions. However, the officer could have used his own “discretion” about whether to give the father a ticket, or a police escort to the hospital.
