Ontario Highway Traffic Act

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...

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 ...

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....
