Long story, in short, Crown has put on the Crown Brief Synopsis that a tuning fork test was conducted. I was shocked to see this because I assumed tuning forks were no longer used in Ontario. When asked the crown said "This is to advise that I spoke to the investigating officer regarding your request with respect to information on tuning forks that was indicated on the crown brief synopsis that I provided to you in disclosure.This information was left on the template used by the officer for speeding offences in error. They are no longer required to use tuning forks and the radar is tested as per manufacturers instructions." This interesting because the officer was using an older model 'Scout Directional/Handheld Radar Serial #SHD-02837'. Would putting that on the Crown Brief Synopsis be a fatal error? The officer indicated that tuning forks were used in testing. I just find this very strange. It's in Deep River, which is a small town of 1500. Any thoughts?

Part 1's can certainly have a Crown brief...There is quite often just a small synopsis done up so the prosecutor has an idea of what went on, along with copy of the driver record and printout of the vehicle info...it is just local policy as to if one is done up or not...

This is my first time ever getting a ticket and I am completely frustrated and don't know what to do.
On July 7th, I was driving to work, taking my usual route and it's about a 15 minute drive for me. At the first red light, I noticed I had a bit of time thanks to the countdown so I quickly…
I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction to track down various radar gun error codes.

My husband was driving my car and passed a school bus with flashing lights. He did not realize this until he was past the bus. The driver honked at him but there were no cops nearby and he didn't get pulled over. I believe the driver or witnesses reported this and we got issued a…
