The unit cannot be user calibrated.

That is done when assembled.

In my 22 years using various radar devices, whether an officer can articulate or not, these instruments are extremely reliable and I never get readings that don't coincide with my observations.

The plate has to be mounted on the rearward most portion of the frame and visible at 180 degrees. By placing it at the side (for arguments sake, the left side) as you pass people, your tire blocks the view of your plate.

The prevailing case law states that people / police should not have to bend their necks, or 'work' to see you plate, it should ...

Phone records themselves won't help, they'll merely show you weren't on THAT phone...still, fight it.

I would argue the crown is part of the identifiers of the plate...the eagle is drastically different, while it might not confuse an officer, the officer may be able to articulate that it might confuse a civilian and thus obstructing the IDENTITY (territory of issue) of the plate.

Function over style, my friend...

Land the eagle...why risk $110.

True.

Keep in mind straight pipes, cut out exhaust etc will get ya ticketed and in many jurisdictions towed.

Keep the noise down and life will be good.

And so far as putting a note on a computer record...those records only last 72hrs...

So if an officer in Toronto runs a plate, all that I'll see if I run it here is if it's been run in the past 72 hrs.

I see no problem with an officer running plates, not with 265,000 suspended drivers in Ontario, they should be running everything all the time ...

What Simon Said!

Personal phone call?

There's no right to a personal phone call...never heard of that before...

And despite what some people think, police know better than to believe people, I've been lied to thousands of times in my career...

I can think of 25 times I've had a flat out denial by somebody backed up by their alibi...then I show them the videotape ...

Guessing...

Use Validation Not Supplied for Vehicle
Fail to Surrender Licence

Correct?

A few days back, on patrol, I stopped a car going the other way for his dark window tint. I couldn't see in and we all know this is rather common.

My spider sense was tingling and there was radio traffic, so rather than book off, I immediately went to driver's window.

The driver was hunched over the passenger seat with the glovebox open...I ...

Agreed, you can go up to the maximum to pass slow traffic, not 30 over to pass the guy doing the limit.

I'm not a defendant... **GRIN**

I'm neither a prosecutor or a paralegal....

Forced to speed?

That's hilarious...I wouldn't try that in court, unless you have Sandra Bullock with you and photos of the bus and the bomb strapped underneath it!

Sorry man, but forced to speed made me burst out loud...

The evidence is indisputable from the photos, but there are extenuating circumstances such as weather conditions (heavy rain).

Not so...red lights are absolute liability offences. If it is heavy rain, snow etc...you are REQUIRED to adjust your driving speed so that you can stop.

So many people blame the roads, if the roads are bad..slow down!

You are correct. Your insurance might take a dim view of an unlicensed person operating your vehicle regardless of the location however.

I've had lots of success with this...giving a side view speed estimate is a little harder to be accurate to within 5 km/h let's say, but there's a huge difference between 0 and 30 km/h.

Was he watching your wheels under the other vehicle's?

Was there noticeable acceleration / deceleration viewed by the officer?

I'm thinking the officer won't ...

Might be better to prepare a series of drawings so that you can provide the court and the prosecution copies, court would likely want a copy filed as evidence.

If the front car tried to stop, you should have been able too.

Seems like you are in a pickle.

Clean record = go to court and ask prosecutor for a DISOBEY LANE LIGHT.

1-$5 court costs....
2-No, 3 years
3-Go to court, ask for an adjournment...have a reason...on first appearance, tell them you are having difficulty getting representation etc...

There is none, no stature of limitations in Ontario...that's why you can't find it.

Neg.

Option 2 or 3 are gambles. Don't be gambling.

Option 1 is appropriate, but wanting the names addresses occupation & criminal record of who?

In my experience, if the ticket is received after 7 days from the date of issue, the provincial offences office has it quashed. They won't even process it.

I'm pretty sure that the delay is now attributable to you as a result of the JP's decision...so 11b no longer applies.

Disobey sign.

The time to get specific answers to question is cross examination.

As for the officers notes, abbreviations are his notes, that's what you get.

I highly doubt you'll get a stay.

Be prepared for trial.

Once you believe you are reinstated, go to the MTO get a copy of your new licence...THEN DRIVE YOUR BRAINS OUT...
