Traffic Cameras are Within Home Rule Powers

Sue Altmeyer, Electronic Services Librarian, sue.altmeyer@law.csuohio.edu | January 31, 2008 - 13:07

From Supreme Court of Ohio Opinion Summaries:

"The Supreme Court of Ohio ruled 7-0 today that an Ohio municipality does not exceed its authority under the “home rule” provisions of the state constitution by creating an automated system for enforcement of traffic laws that imposes civil liability on violators, provided that the municipality does not alter any statewide traffic regulation."

Mendenhall v. Akron, Slip Op. No. 2008-Ohio-270. This issue was referred to the Ohio Supreme Court by the federal district court. Upon return of the case to federal court, there may be constitutional due process issues left to resolve.

Muscle Up Your Passwords

Jan Novak, Associate Director jan.novak@law.csuohio.edu | January 31, 2008 - 12:16

We are a password dependent people: just review our Law Student Usernames, Passwords, Ids, and Pins for a walk through several of the passwords students need to establish just to negotiate fundamental resources here at Cleveland Marshall. Don’t take passwords too lightly – in fact, a password should be a weighty matter, as in “strong,” which describes passwords made of a combination of seven letters, numbers and symbols with a little upper and lower case mixture thrown in. Dennis Kennedy’s Power Passwords in 93 ABA Journal (December 2007) at p. 59 sets out some guidelines to creating passwords that will thwart crackers and yet still make enough internal sense to be memorable. He advises a) getting rid of passwords in the form of words or names, b) using a root password made of a combination of letters and symbols with the addition of resource identifying suffixes and c)combining a base password and portions of a pass phrase.
