The People of the State of New York v. David A. Foster

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the County Court's decision and remanded the case for further fact-finding. It held that the prosecution satisfied its burden of proving that no higher speed limit had been authorized by taking judicial notice of the Official Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations. The court also affirmed that a speedometer deviation record is admissible as a business record when properly founded.
