right you can
but what proof do you have besides you saw me "blow" by you?
cops pull me over a mile down the road and they gun me doing the speed limit then what proof do they have? your word and in the court of law your word on someone speeding really isnt going to hold up, no offense to you
now someone swerving in her truck and the cops pull her over, maybe they suspect dui ... they can test for that and she fails the test ... well then they have proof.
you cant really expect a speeding ticket to uphold in a court of law with nothing more than "the guy blew by me". thats why we have radar guns and dash cameras.
what are they going to put on the ticket? what speed were you over by? you might get a ticket but it would be an easy one to fight.

Your logic is flawed because if this were the case a burglar who was seen breaking into a house and running away were reported by a neighbor then the cops would have no reason to arrest or even investigate the crime because they didn't see it happen.
Why do you think this is any different aside from one being a traffic violation and the other being a felony crime?

now you have physical evidence again , not just someone saying they saw something.
you break into a house and unless your a world class burglar there is going to be obvious evidence ... broken glass, fingerprints ... shit knocked over.
i drive by you at 120 when the speed limit is 75 ... you call the cops and they do pull me over later, not breaking the law ... what physical evidence besides you saying i was speeding do they have? none.
sure they can ticket me but that ticket sure as hell aint holding up in court. so the cops get you to stand up in court and say it was my car, so i get my passenger to stand up in court and say i wasnt speeding ... now you have two conflicting arguments. and this is the point where the cops would need to have concrete proof of the charge. but as it so happens they pulled me over and i wasnt speeding they have no hard evidence
how does the judge rule on that?

i just thought of a good felony example of this john
lets say i call the cops and say vinnie raped me
h:
well the cops show up and they find no physical evidence, but they have to investigate so they go see vinnie, take him down to the station and he denies it. cops cant find any proof themselves aside from the fact i said he did it
whats gonna happen? nothing, no charges will be filed ... maybe they keep an eye on vinnie or they know he might be trouble , but you aint going to jail just because someone says you did it. whats that court case gonna look like? its a case of he said she said ...
