Tracking History

In a lot of the posts regarding speeding, there is a great deal of mention about tracking history and observation. What exactly constitutes "tracking history"? Is there a procedure/guideline/timeline that needs to be followed? When an officer's notes read "...I observed a vehicle trav...

Re: Advice to presenting case

but number of passengers has little bearing on the offence and not really needed in the notes. I would agree with you, however, MY passenger(s), who will likely testify as a witness(es) and will vouch for the fact that I am not speeding. So here is some of what I intend to do: 1. When the officer i...

Re: Advice to presenting case

WOW this is old....updating with current status and questions. Also going to include the response (almost verbatim) so others can get an idea of what to expect. I received my notice of trial on Oct 23rd -- Trial date is 28 March 2012. Sent in my disclosure request via registered mail on 1 Nov with t...

Re: Advice to presenting case

So now that I've chosen to fight, do I wait to receive a notice of trial or file immediately for disclosure? Here's what I plan to ask for (knowing I wont get it all): 1. Speed measuring device manufacturer, model, serial number, certification history, repair history and owners/operators manual. 2. ...

Re: Advice to presenting case

Sorry for using the TV show term, I make no claims to knowing what the correct terminology is. :) So, what you are saying is that the officer has to make a judgment (and I am in no way planning on disputing an officer's ability to do so), then raise the lidar up, press the trigger and obtain the rea...

Re: Advice to presenting case

I didn't think that there was a worry based on what I have read, but you never know. This officer could be a good friend...thanks for the reassurance. As for the overpass, I pulled over east of the next overpass (right in front of the OPC sign before the exit, ironically) and there isn't one for qui...

Re: Advice to presenting case

Oh...just for grins, I've had 4 GPS units on my dash simultaneously (2 different manufacturers) and checked speed versus my dashboard from stop to 115 kms and all are within a hair of the speedo in my car.

Advice to presenting case

I'm going to preface this with a little concern....I know that at least one moderator on this forum is likely a co-worker of the officer who tagged me. I'm hoping that by being involved here, this moderator is already acting unbiased towards incidents he/she is not directly involved in. Also hoping ...
