I am looking for an estimate of the number of governmental laws, treaties, rules and regulations in the US.?

I am curious how many laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes and treaties we are subject to in the United States. I realize an exact number would be impossible to come up with, but it seems to me someone should be able to provide a ball-park figure. I am just wondering how many rules we have to follow. I would like to include everything which is enforceable by the various levels of government. There is the ...

Is it true that police officers cannot break traffic laws unless they are responding to a specific incident?

I asked this before, but forgot to add some additional information
Is it true that police officers cannot break traffic laws unless they are responding to a specific incident? The way I read (NYS) traffic law, it is. But why do they constantly speed?
For example, I travel the NYS thruway every day. I see Troopers traveling well in excess of 80mph, flying by me all the time only to see them pull into the ...

Can you get a speeding ticket from the police on a university campus with their own traffic laws?

I was driving on campus the other day and i got pulled over by the cops. I know the university has their own speeding tickets and traffic laws. So why should the cops be able to pull you over.

Wanting to ride horse into town? Any common rules for that? What about when it comes to manure piles?

I just found out that horses even have the right of way wherever they are mostly. I live in a town that isn't too big but still gets good enough traffic. My barn is only about a couple miles outside of it that I board at, and I was wanting to ride my mare into town one day. Like maybe to the edge of town to stop and get a slurpee on a warm day ...

Help with a camera speeding infraction (D.C.)?

Hi,

My vehicle was photographed speeding by a camera in D.C. at 1:43am. I have three questions:

1) Assuming the same evidence would be presented, am I more likely to find favor by appearing at an actual hearing as opposed to sending in a mail adjudication?

2) How would I go about obtaining the maintenance logs for the specific camera that photographed my vehicle?

3) What is the best website to use in order to ...

Ohio Court: Police estimates OK for issuing speeding tickets

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio's highest court has ruled that a person may be convicted of speeding purely if it looked to a police officer that the motorist was going too fast. The Ohio Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that an officer's visual estimation of speed is enough to support a conviction if the officer is trained, certified by a training academy, and experienced in watching for speeders. The court's 5-1 decision says independent verification of a ...
