Yes, the lidar specifically tells the operator it is being jammed. (ie. on target, pull trigger, gets jammed, lidar tells operator it is being jammed, therefore operator also knows which vehicle has the jammer)

I do not see the Marksman being pulled out of use for a few more years, until there is a budget for replacement. My office has 1 Marksman ...

it is a very easy charge for police to obtain a conviction.

Stopped a motor vehicle and the plates were not authorized by the MTO to be on the vehicle at the time/date of the stop.

bear i had no idea you have seized that many detectors? Are alot American vehicles or something your close to the US border aren't you?
guess about 85% USA, 10% Ontario and 5% Alberta.

bear one time you should come do a shift with the Toronto detachment or that one at Aurora.
I don't think we are issued diapers....b/c that area would scare the ...

what will show on the driving record will be:
Out-Of-Province -Greater than 50km/hr over the speed limit 6 points

tdrive2 - how I appreciate some of the points you raise, however there are too many variables that are never touched on and raising speed would be devastating.

I would fully support a speed raise if the following were met:
- advanced driver training with a new class of licence required to be on the 400 series hwy
- mandatory medicals every year ...

But some of us hardcore traffic people won't give you a chance......sitting and sitting and at that car coming....wait for it....wait for it..... I/O BINGO too late!

Some day i would love to see officers devoting more time to other things like aggressive and careless drivers, enforcing lane discipline, inspecting unsafe trucks and loads, and some of those aggressive truck drivers.

Then give us proper traffic enforcement vehicles......I see loads of stuff in my own car, all of what you mention, get into my ...

Transport going thru the median at whatever km/hr...add the vehicle speed the opposite way and then you have the speed of impact...BAM!! :wink:

I have seen several trucks go right thru the super duper concrete barriers.

Of course you need them in major cities, gov't still didn't plan the routes wide enough to start with, so there is not choice ...

I hate the concrete barriers.

If only the gov't did it correctly like hwy 11 up towards Huntsville, where the lanes are seperated by a good 75metres. It allows ample room to remove snow, debris off the highway. Allows emergency vehicles to get to scenes and calls for service more efficiently. Prevents rubbernecking as the distance allows nothing ...

All those videos are "construed" on how you want the results......similiar to stats of whatever nature (ie who wants them and for what reason).

First the RDD has to be operating properly to start with. You have to have an incoming signal from a detector, all I saw was outgoing detector signals (away from a Spectre). Another RDD was not turned on ...

BANG ON ..... emergency lights must be activated

Of course 3-4 kms down the road I passed another 6 cops doing exactly the same thing. Really is Chatham that hard up for money?

It has nothing to do with money.

There are 2 bridges in Chatham-Kent dedicated towards 2 Chatham-Kent OPP officers that have been killed by vehicles striking them while stopped on highway 401.
1) Sgt Marg Eve ...

... didn't see the car coming (gray car against a gray asphalt road) and drove through the intersection into the path of the unlucky guy in the car. He clipped the passenger side of the van (hard) and turned it over.

Great. Now insurance rates will increase for grey cars due to the fact that they are harder to see on the road, thus increasing ...

This is why I rarely reduce a speed anymore. More and more began to challenge a lowered ticket, even after I was nice and lowered it to no points.

adding in the previous mentioned school kids....see adults doing same stuff...disobeying cross walk signs etc...no wonder the kids don't know any better.

remember couple yrs back....a child got hit by a car on a paved back road that goes to a popular beach/marina.....mother complained in the paper.....my kids always play on the road :shock:

kids ...

While the p/u driver should be charged with quite a bit for his involvement in the collision (and not keep his licence), horse riders should also be more considerate of other vehicles on the roads.
The way it looks to me, there was a group of horse riders spread out all over the road.
Same as a lof of inconsiderate people walking 4/5 abreast down ...

The other person probably got the same info as you. It is rare that the info is put on a "collision report" while at scene.

Generally the insurance companies of both involved contact the police that investigated the collision and obtain the collision reports. There is a small fee to get a copy of the collision report.

now I'm really confused....Federal Police? (RCMP,MP,CBSA)

A "notice to appear" (Appearance Notice) is criminal offence.

more problems last night and this am....having huge delay, double posts, ....and for benefit for some......thinking I'm posting and haven't

Yes, your correct. Once I receive disclosure and obtain the name of the witness who took this aggressive pursuit against me, I will formalize a complaint to the OPP for his own careless driving behaviour.

And how else would you suggest a police officer catch any vehicle without being aggressive?

What you might think is aggressive could be ...

Sometimes police do have to get close to vehicles and appears to be "tail gating". The reason for this is to read a licence plate. If plates are faded, dirty, obstructed by tinted plate covers, rusty, etc..... OR licence plate light is burnt out, it makes it very difficult to read, even more so at night. Once plate is called into dispatch officer ...

Devils advocate here....if this person had to aggressively chase you, seems more than speed is a factor.

tdrive2 - I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you must have just finished working 16hrs, and was up prior to work for 2hrs......b/c none of that reflects the posts prior

Should read the posts above where it is well explained and where Reflections understands

Here is that so ever elusive definition that you could not find:

No incident report is required, it is not an incident.

If you decide to challenge the offence, the notes from both officers will be submitted, simple as that. Both officers will have to attend court.

There have been many murder convictions without the actual "knife/gun" being located with all the evidence to support the charge. So back to my original, do not need to find the SMWD to support the charge and there is lots of evidence to be had.
(ie: I stopped behind a coworker, walked up to one car with the officer, it was at night, looked as ...

Correct......

it is the change in velocity from a movement to a very abrupt STOP/change in direction that KILLS

Don't paint all HSD officers with that same brush. Just b/c you see a cruiser on/near GTR does not mean it is a local car either.

OPP should be demonstrating and being ambassadors on the highways and that is the message our office goes by and I believe in.

I would suggest you go to the closet OPP office and provide the information with date, time ...
