Are police officers allowed to just drive around with their radar on
Some do all the time

It seems impossible to estimate and then take reading travelling at night in the opposite direction.

You would be correct, how are you going to prove it?

Also a quick question, I really want to go through court transcripts for simmilar cases, how can I ...

you said 80-85......15 over ticket is way better then following to close IMHO. See if you can appeal, you may need paid expertise though

If you're not careful we'll unleash the real bear

The question is, did the officer ever look through the windsheild from the drivers point of view....no.....not guilty.

the key word is "may" in the section

I think the wording should be "likely". If straps were used to hold down the load the the vehicle operator has performed his dudilegence.....If the officer wants he can follow a gravel truck and count the "tings" as the rocks bounce off the cruiser. Were the items in the truck larger and easily held down???

also request a copy of the radar manual

heard a story, not sure how true it is......defendant brings in copy of manual to ask questions, prosecutor asks for recess, and officer then brings his copy up onto the stand......defendant asked questions from manual, officer just looked up answers from the manual. Certainly makes the manual thing a ...

Just my 3 cents (2 +PST +GST +inflation)

That would be like 4.5 cents......

this just isn't going away

If the line up is that long, park your car and go inside, probably faster anyway.

I have to agree with bear here. We should make driver training part of high school. Take the current structure, add a year and put in 1 full year of driver training. Not just how to park either, skid control, emergency stopping...the whole shooting match.....what do ya think

Clean sheet

No we need a corny icon

A police officer can enforce the laws anywhere in the Province of Ontario.

An Ontario police officer can enforce anywhere in Ontario...There are some restrictions


Blueline.ca
They are "peace officers" anywhere in Canada so they can enforce any "federal" statute. The hiccup comes when there is a need to enforce a provincial statute such as HTA ...

Every black lettered vehicle is commercial

How come pick up without personalized plates has black????

um, that's HER own fine......

So, whoever want to sell to the cops has to have the vehicles evaluated then the divisions order them....

Agreed.

There was a case like that a while back (2 years?). A teacher was charged with "impeding the flow of traffic" while

That was '97..... http://www.drivers.com/article/149/

But as long as we are on religous terms I now present to you the Ten commandments of Ontario driving:

1.Thou shall not race
2.Thou shall not spin thy tires
3.Thou shall not ...

Every single law needs a few commas being the long winded babbling gobbly goop that goes on and on trying to include every single possibility with one or two simple phrases because the government has GOD-like powers and childlike responsibility so that they can read them only as they wish


Damn my comma button is broken I hope that doesn't sound ...

More details please. Where was the "offence", road names? where is the officer from OPP or Toronto Police Service? What date is on the ticket, If you could scan and post it, remove your personal info....

If this isn't pursuit rated I don't know what would be:




I think there's a drip tray for the LEO's Timmies in the cup holder for those "quick trips".

Unfortunately, when in Rome do as the Romans do. You should know the laws of a place you are travelling to.

Stick it on the visor and your clear.........

Won't happen to me. If someone lane/brake checks me, I'll have all to evidence I need ;)

Dash cams are growing in popularity for a good reason. This post is a good example of why

It's all good until the electronic components in vehicle law comes into place :shock:

Remote controls, they're great. Then you can stuff the videocam in the ...

I like the video set up could have come in handy when............

Did you enter the courtroom with your CWD jacket on????

"I now call to the stand, Mr. Bookm............. Uhhh uuuummmm the crown has no evidence."

What sign did you disobey????

Just the facts........The other driver caused the accident by failing to remain in his lane........now how to prove it.....that is your question, young Jedi.
