3) What discussions have the OPP had with regards to tuning fork requirements and why they don't ...

So I had my appeal Thursday August 25th.

Stated to judge the officer testified she first saw me at 75m, did the visual estimation at between 70-60 and had the lock at 50m.

The officer stated the first visual happened at just before the blue house and when she maintained line of sight it was as I was passing the blue house immediately to her right ...

V = d/t

D = 25m *
T = 2 s **

V = 25/2 = 12.5m/s or 45km/hr

The officer's statements contradict the radar gun reading.

* officer claimed visual estimation started at 75 metre and ended with a radar lock at 50 metres.

** officer claimed visual estimation took 2 seconds and then she obtained radar reading which isn't instantaneous.

So ...

The manual wasn't old though. I printed it directly from manufacturer's website the day before trial. Decatur sells their manual with the tuning fork test section (section 8.3) to most every government except ontario.

I complained about disclosure pretrial. The example I gave was since the officer couldn't remember most of the specifics of her ...

I asked for electronic copy of manual before trial as part of my disclosure request. Was told by prosecutor I could only view manual by arranging appointment. I stated I had a job and didn't have time. I did view briefly though after early resolution meeting. I then asked prosecutor in follow-up to please comment on missing sections of manual and ...

Jsherk,

I printed the manufacturer's online manual and tried to get admitted. Prosecutor claimed hearsay and justice agreed.

Also tried to get admitted cellphone photos showing cops vantage point with all the trees, power lines and poles and front porch my car had to go through between 100m to 50m. Justick insisted that if I wanted to submit cell ...

It was a ghd radar gun.

A visual estimation of a car going 80km/hr through all kinds of trees, electrical poles and a Crest in a hill would take more than a second,would it not? She originally said 2 seconds and then modified to 1 to 2 seconds. You still have to point radar gun in general direction of my car, observe that my car is lone vehicle in ...

I went to court for 81km in a 50km zone. Ticketed for 70km. Advised by prosecutor he would raise to 81km if I plead innocent.

I plead innocent. During trial it was established officer self-tested gun before and after with negative interference. She stated she made a visual estimation of my speed at 75m and that I appeared to be speeding. Radar ...
