Ontario Highway Traffic Act

From what I've read, they would have to disclose the recordings if any to you before the trial or you can object to the evidence if brought up in trial.

Also read they can't say what you said unless they can show it was done freely, they would have to do something called a voir dire.

I'm curious as to where the police was in relation to you, she saw this all in her rear view? If it is through the rear view, I'm wondering if it could be questioned whether she even had a clear view of the situation.

From a lay person's point of view, defence of necessity from avoiding a truck colliding with you on the highway sounds reasonable ...

That's an interesting angle. It does mention that the handheld device "does not move while the vehicle is in motion"... and arguably it can move around in the centre console (e.g. fast turns/stops).

R. v. Fernandes-Salema, 2019 ONCJ 67

It seems to mean that you actually need a mounting device, so centre console would not count.

This post was very useful for me because I ended up searching through canlii for speeding and the Atlanta laser device. In the convictions I saw in case law, there were tests done before and after.

I went to trial recently in York ...
