Legal Question in Traffic Law in Pennsylvania

Re: Stopping motorist by standing in traffic

You asked about a ticket issued by an officer on foot.

It is indisputable that an officer on foot can issue a ticket. I am familiar with some techniques used to pull over vehicles by stepping into traffic. I think they are incredibly dangerous and stupid for the police to use.

The question you need to answer is whether or not the officer used a legal means of determining the vehicle's speed. If the officer used a system that is reliable and accurate an attorney may still be able to question the validity of a ticket. If there was no system used then the ticket is more questionable.

Re: Stopping motorist by standing in traffic

Why would it not be allowed? Why do you think it would be "unethical" or immoral to stop a car this way? Have you heard of a rule that walking policemen can only stop walking people? A policeman walking his beat can stop a car, write tickets, and do everything that a policeman/trooper in a car, on a horse, in a helicopter, or on a train can do.
