Re: Misc radar/lidar


I heard that most lidar is effective from starting around 1200 feet it can get a pretty good reading?
Lidar is effective A LOT farther than that.....1.2km away easy easily obtainable targets. I personally obtain 3 readings 80% of the time, 2 readings 10% and 4 readings 10% of the time. All of my very last readings on vehicles are 200-400m away ...

Re: Interesting article about court appearances. Opinions?


Bear, you should be covered by WSIB if you drive your car for work related activities. If you are in a traffic accident, your insurance will apply. But if you receive a compensable loss time injury, you have the option of electing either WSIB or your insurance coverage. You also need to declare to your insurance that you are using your vehicle ...

Re: Speeding ticket, 31km/h over

I always wondered how those work in high traffic. He could have gotten the wrong guy or you could have acclerated a bit. Perhaps he thought you were the fastest one when in fact it was another guy.

I think you have a good chance to fight this on the court. I would say he got the wrong vehicle or confused.

This is one process of elimination of a ...

Re: Interesting article about court appearances. Opinions?

Wow that is quite extreme experience that you have seen. Would never want that to be here.

If there was a way to make things more efficient, maintaining our standards I am all for that. Such as the written statements by involved persons.

A tightening of our current standards would help increase efficiency as things are becoming slack.

Re: Interesting article about court appearances. Opinions?

I would not say anything different from a statement than I would on the stand....so how would that not be fair?

I know how JP's are currently appointed.

Think the discussion was an alternative court system, where JP's would have added ability to ask for clarification from the crown and defendant if an issue was located.

Re: Interesting article about court appearances. Opinions?


Meh... I get a minimum of four hours of pay just for showing up for work if I get called out, or even if I get a cancellation. I don't see much of a problem with them getting 4 hours for a short appearance, particularly since they often have to sacrifice part of a day off..

Exactly, have to drive to the office, prepare for court, put on work ...

Re: Interesting article about court appearances. Opinions?

162K! I might have to join up sooner. :D Don't think I'd feel comfortable getting four hours' overtime pay for a ten-minute appearance, though.
That again is misinformation by the paper....it is not 4hrs overtime pay (time and a half x 4 hrs)....it is a minimum of 4 hrs pay. We have a minimum pay of 6hrs for being recalled to work.

I don't know ...

Re: Interesting article about court appearances. Opinions?

The city is still up by $2 million.....so the problem is????

The thought of sending in a certified statement is excellent. Apparently QC does this (anyone confirm?). So when someone challenges an offence they send in a statement, officer sends in a statement, both to be reviewed by a JP. The JP will then have the ability to ask for further ...
