Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Some questions for our law-enforcement friends, from your experience using LIDAR guns

1) is there any significance to aiming the crosshairs at a vehicle's front/rear license plate vs. body? for example: range.

2) maximum distance you've gotten a reading from a vehicle with a front license plate vs. vehicle without?

3) maximum distance for a ...

it will only get amended when you plead "not guilty" during your arraignment; the prosecutor will then make a motion to amend the ticket

before the proceedings

Question, if OP goes to court, then the charge reverts back to stunt driving?

the officer has upto six months from the alleged-offense to issue a summons to charge the OP with Stunt Driving
