Re: Cop suspended with Pay, HTA 172



I'm not immune from being sued if I screw up and someone gets injured or killed just because I happen to be at work, and I don't think he would be either. Perhaps Ticketcombat could clarify this.

If you mess up, you won't be around to worry about it.

Re: And another reason to strike down S.172


Yes Sir there is, can you write the AG and the OPP and ask them to stop the jury rigging up in Barrie :roll:

Guess your not following this too closely....this practice has also been done by the Windsor Police, Thunder Bay Police.

And it is not jury rigging at all. An example of that would be putting people on the jury who have all had someone ...

Re: self-testing devices

Oh wait a minute... TC with this little thing you might've opened the door to stand speeding ticket prosecution here on its head:

Nowhere in the manual does the manufacturer state that this self test proves the device is working properly. Read the manual carefully. You will notice they go to great lengths to AVOID making this claim.

Re: Radar / Lidar Units types

Btw for the 2 antennas ill take a wild guess at this. The long one is the antenna for the digital receiver which is mounted in car (all cars have this), the small one is this so called analog repeater antenna, and those circular dome looking things are the internet connection for the computer/laptop in the car?

correct.

I do not how or why any ...

Re: Passing Off Roadway

delay with the cruiser time (8-10 sec) is short.....I often wait for several minutes.....in that time I have my dispatch check the vehicle, owner to ensure who I am dealing with (ie...did they just do an armed robbery?) Then wait for a safe location to stop.

The govenment deciding to make changing from one road surface condition to another is a ...

Re: HTA 154 (1) a

noticed that the traffic was stopped. Therefore I merged onto the burloak exit (burlington) early crossing the white line. I did look and made sure it was safe before crossing. .

Trying to get the right interpretation here... Does this mean you went outside of a marked lane and were driving on the paved shoulder prior to the actual marked lane ...

Re: 401 - Chatham

Well bear just so you know i would never really "FLY BY"in that area you patrol.It really depends but your area is bad for "speeding."

Lots of cops, mainly all patrolling 401,

We now are at 8 officers per shift....come September up to 9.
It is nice to have back-up close by. Last week we did the lidar intercept with 1 operator, 5 chase cars ...

That's great. Keeps your record clean and prevents an insurance increase. :)

Grey.
