Ontario Highway Traffic Act

The only way around it is if youre willing to accept a $110 ticket for it every time youre pulled over. After about the second or third time, be prepared for a Summons.

Youre actually lucky that you received any portion of the manual. Recent case law doesnt require disclosure of any parts of speed measuring device manuals.

Id certainly put someones knowledge, skills and abilities above a piece of paper any day of the week. A certificate is only worth the paper its printed on.

Youre not likely to get an answer from jsherk. Thats a banned account.

You're misreading it. There is no need to post signs in a built up area unless the maximum speed is something other than the statutory maximum of 50 km/h. Likewise there is no need to post 80 km/h in the more rural areas. You might also want to check the Bylaw for Barrie. All of their speed variations are in it. If a street isn't listed, it's 50 km/h

A recent Ontario Court of Appeal decision allows officers to amend a Certificate of Offence after the Offence Notice has been served. Your Offence Notice may not have a fatal flaw. The only way to find out would be to file an appeal with the court.

They have six months from the date of the offence to serve a summons.

You also indicate thats you received no reply to your disclosure request. Its actually your responsibility to contact them to see if disclosure is ready.

The blacked out name may be the radar/Lidar instructors name who qualified him. Thes are the officers notes rpthat are made to refresh his/her memory. Its not an all inclusive diary. Youll probably have to get the officer on the stand to clarify these points. If theres no indication of an end of shift test, you may be in a better position for a win ...
