“[I]f at all possible, statutes must be construed in conformity with the Ohio and United States Constitutions.”
10 later decisions quote this exact passage“not in the sense that it requires a person to conform his conduct to an imprecise but comprehensible normative standard, but rather in the sense that no standard of conduct is specified at all.”
7 later decisions quote this exact passage““These values are first, to provide fair warning to the ordinary citizen so behavior may comport with the dictates of the statute; second, to preclude arbitrary, capricious and generally discriminatory enforcement by officials given too much authority and too few constraints; and third, to ensure that fundamental constitutionally protected freedoms are not unreasonably impinged or inhibited.” Collier, 62 Ohio St.3d at 270 , 581 N.E.2d at 554 , citing State v. Tanner (1984), 15 Ohio St.3d 1, 3 , 15 OBR 1, 3, 472 N.E.2d 689, 691 .”
