Got my disclosure, Need help decoding it. Dry Sunny Lit in X XXX Westbound 12 Very High Speed Third Lane to 1st car tp set-pulling away of speed 103km/h @ 141M Pull of directly behind T stops in gas station Rec R/O ?? -White Acura EPCJAY LTI UXI(?)18771 tested @ 1549 -in car line? (built in?) Uploaded with ImageShack.us He told me on the side he tested it 22:49 as well at the end of the day on another sheet in his ticket book, dont know if thats valid Is anyone able to tell me the model of this? I looked up LTI and it pulled 3-4 models. Not sure which one.
Not sure if someone wants to chime in and see if I am under the grounds for an appeal, but I had my Trial today and one of my questions to the officer were "do you think or know if the laser unit gives false readings?" and he answered NO. I tried to pin him on that fact that the manual clearly indicates there could be a false reading of variance of +/- 2kmh. On top of that, because he was on the side of the road, and not directly infront, the "Cosine effect" also alters the speed reading therefore the laser unit produced in-accurate or false readings and that my speed could have been incorrect The JP decided that despite that, this is an absolute liability offence, and the speed that you were caught at doesn't matter since the officer observed you as being in a "high rate" of speed, in other words you were still speeding. He also based his convection on case law 1997 Regina V McDonald BC. I looked it up, and it was a murder charge so I quite confused why he cited that. I'm going to order the transcript and understand this a bit more regarding this Full conviction entered. Any advice?

To the best of my knowledge all speed measuring devices have a possible variance of +/-2 km/hr. I dont believe the Court has ever considered this to be an issue, since its supposed to be supported by the officers visual observations. Id also argue a variance in the reading is quite different from an outright "false" reading, where the device is measuring phantom vehicle speeds or is just completely incorrect. Ive also never heard of the cosine effect being an issue with stationary speed measuring devices, since the error is always in your favour. You might have been going faster then the sped you were charged, but the charge is still correct. It's no different then when the officer reduces your speed on the ticket. You may have been going 20 over, but you still can be convicted for 15 over.

I was charged for disobey sign (no left turn) in a winter noon time around Bay/Edward (the prosecutor/judge said it to be a Absolute liability offences but disobey sign is actually a strict liability offence, right? And I found this: For example, if you made an illegal left-turn where there were…
so got fined with 69km in a 50km, at bottom of hill...didn't even have foot on the gas. first ticket ever in over 10 years of driving. fine was 62$ and 3 points.
cop says take to court and get demerit points reduced. didn't even let me speak and walks away.
On my way to work today I got a 110 dollar ticket + 2 demerit points.
I was driving north on Bathurst and turned left onto a side street into a residential area before hitting the lights at Eglinton and Bathurst. I normally do this to avoid the big line up to turn left onto Eglinton.
On the 400 extension EB towards Barrie cops like to hide out under an over pass that is Ski Trails Rd. They tag people as the come over the crest of the hill and that is 900m from where this officer was standing.
I'm confused because I knew this, saw the cop, and checked my…
I was making a left hand legal turn on a green light, a driver came through the lane I was supposed to be going into ran the red and hit me head on as I was turning into my lane. When the officer came he was telling me that I was racing and driving recklessly because apparently there was reports of…
Today i got caught doing 115 in a 90 at Mayfield and 410 and what I have been reading is that this offence is 3 points. Seeing this is my first offence I'm unsure if the ticket is supposed to I lost 3 points or is that just automatic. Also should I go to fight it to drop the points and just pay the…
I was (recently) involved in a traffic accident where, due to icy road conditions, I slid into oncoming traffic while making a right turn, while they were coming towards me and stopping at a stop sign. This was a residential area and there's no way I was exceeding anything over 20KM/h on…
