Re: Stopping two cars

[*]The fixed distance test - is there an alignment mark on the unit so that it measures precisely where the pulse is emitted from. If the tester has his foot on the line, he could be leaning forward or back (not perfectly vertical). How do you compensate for this? Is the unit placed on a fixed stand?[/list]

Re: Fail to obey stop sign sec. 136(1)(a)

A few questions, If i request for disclosure, wouldn't the cop know that I'm challenging him (which would upset him because i'm trying to discredit him) and he would definitly show up in court for that date?

A vast majority of our court is on working days, so we will be there.

I know most officers do not care that people go to trial. I would ...

Are they teaching the "right-side" approach at the OPC now? I noticed the officer did that in the video.
Not sure what they teach at OPC....it was many moons ago that I was there. I have a higher chance of being hit by a rubbernecker, so I use the passenger side 95% of the time at least some protection

Re: Failure to submit permit? What's required in car re: permit?

Sounds like waaaaayyyyy too much going on with the stop and mixmatched charges.

The section that deals with permits is HTA 7

HTA 7(5)(a)
- the permit (ownership or for US people "title")for a motor vehicle must be surrendered upon demand to a police officer (or true photocopy of permit)

Still baffles me as to why (other than a company with ...

The video is also important, if the cop is telling the truth about it. But since you know you stopped, the cop is lying to you.

Not IF the video shows otherwise, then the person is lying!

See that more and more of that in society, parents not being parents. People not owning up to errors, refuse to accept the consequences of their actions, trying every little nook and cranny to get out of it whatever they have done wrong. People blatantly lie and deny that "their little angel" could have done that!!
