Hello all, I am preparing my defence against a 15 over speeding charge. I'm in the process of looking for some case laws to support my defence, specifically whether the police officer followed proper procedure to test the laser unit. I read a lot of reference to R v Niewiadomski [2004] OJ No 478 and wanted to dig that up, yet I am not able to find it on the canlii website. 1) Is there any way to dig old case laws up? I have seen cases that considered case laws from the 90's, yet I don't know how to find those. 2) Can I simply refer to a case that gives out judgment considering another case law (which supports my case obviously)? Thanks in advance for assistance.

Probably the best free public database would be CanLII (http://www.canlii.org/en/). It doesn't have all published decisions, but does seem to have a lot of the more major ones. Edit: Oops, sorry, missed that you already tried that database.
I have a lot of issues with the idea that speed measuring devices like radar and lidar guns are using computer generated simulations to test themselves that they are working properly. The manufacturer is making a claim that a device can test itself. Where's the proof that it works?
