Hello, seeking some guidance. I was issued a speeding ticket for 28km over the limit (128 in a 100). I have chosen option 3 for Trial Once i get my trial date, ill request discolsure. When i was pulled over, the ticket issuing officer immediately told me that it was his seargent in a seperate loaction that "got you doing 128 coming up the previous hilll" There was an off ramp between where I was apparently clocked and the place where the persuit car was parked (the on ramp) if i pick the middle of "the prevous hill" as a starting point it was 2km to the off ramp, 3km to the persuit car, and 4km to where I got pulled over. I never saw any car except the persuit vehicle I was behind 2 other vehicles doing 103km/h when we passed the persuit car ( i looked) Fine is $135 dollars, 3 points - im not interested in a reduction in the charge Im looking to avoid conviction. This is only my second ticket, first one was over 25 yrs ago I see no obvious errors on the ticket so... what are my options and tactics here ? I assume both the issuing officer and the radar operating officer have to show up to effect a conviction ? I also assume I can argue the fact that there was an off ramp between the point of radar reading and the parked persuit car to suggest that a vehicle as common as mine could have easily exited the busy highway and they did in fact pull over the wrong vehicle ? Thanks in advance forany guidance

This adjournment would probably be counted against you. Probably.

Well the prosecutors arguments are valid... evidence like photos or anything in writing can be objected to when the photographer/writer is not there to be cross examined.
