The Ohio Basic Code ("OBC") is a misnomer to many because there is no universal 'basic code' in Ohio. The OBC is offered by American Legal Publishing and Walter H. Drane Company. Both offer codified ordinances for dozens of cities (ALP / Walter).
Using the offense of Speeding as an example, the code is different in many jurisdictions under the OBC. I selected four random cities and listed them below.
New Carlisle: 434.03
Dublin: 73.15
Waynesville: 73.10
Sidney: 333.03
As you can see, although Speeding is a universal violation, there is no universal code for the violation. This is why I cannot put the OBC in my app.
