Just be aware that I don't believe the court decision regarding the permit having to be valid isn't a binding decision.
The section you were charged with was probably 7(1)(a) it states:
7. (1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a highway unless,

(a) there exists a currently validated permit for the vehicle;

The latest manual is 2012

Its the same manual for both models.

Radar make, model and serial number were all provided in the officers notes.
Don't expect to get the radar manual, it usually isn't provided. The most you'll get will be the testing instructions and probably an opportunity to view the manual. If you dont get the additional disclosure about two weeks before trial, the best you can hope for is an ...
