And the law is broad that the OPP uses it for revenue. I think you have a better chance in court with CWP than a speed measuring device? I'd have to disagree. There's nothing broad about law covering radar detectors in Ontario. You can't have them in your car, period. They can't be in your trunk, t...

So if " it's an unfair traffic law being perpetuated in Canada." I guess you're better add nine US States to your list of unfair traffic laws" Even if you had been found not guilty, the device would still have been forfeited. Best bet Is to leave them at home. At least those states d...

If it was my watching lots of law and order, judge judy and court tv, it helped. The Justice of Peace experience was very exciting. Everybody were nice and even the OPP constable, judge(worship) and prosecutor and staff. It made me relaxed since it was my first time in court. I thought I was role pl...

Update on my case. Just went to traffic court and they called the witness who is the constable that pulled me over. He is an expert in spectre but he really doesn't know anything about new technology. I figured that out during cross examination. The spectre they use was manufactured in 2003. Even wi...

About 15 cruisers, 10 moving radar units(radar affixed in cruiser), 2 handheld radar, 2 lidar, 2 RDD and one ALPR (automated licence plate reading).
So 13 units without a RDD.

do you have a RDD? did you pull me over?

The RDD does not pick up radar signals or any of these vehicles sensors. if the RDD was manufactured/purchased 12/15 then maybe. it mentions distronic(R) is not detected in the spectre IV(elite) website which is what MB uses but not the other manufacturers. That is why all RD companies are adding a...

I'm not sure I follow. Are you suggesting they possibly didn't have the right to pull you over?

yes, the new escalades have the adaptive cruise control that uses radar and that give a false beep and technically they cannot assume that a RD was in the vehicle?

I mailed the ticket with option 3 checked requesting for a court date.

sorry for reviving this thread as it is also the reason I signed in. Got pulled over crossing Michigan to Ontario because of my radar detector. The OPP apparently has a RDD and even if I was just at speed limit, he confiscated my V1 and gave me cad$ 170.00. I plan to choose option 3 appear in court...

free 407? Now that is funny, thank for the laugh, I needed that... this is actually true. I have used 407 a few times but never got a toll fee letter in the mail considering I'm in the US. So, I called the customer service number of 407etr and she said that there is no way I can pay it since I'm fr...
