Re: Error by officer?

Choose Trial Option 3 Not Guilty with Officer Present. Once you get a trial date, you can request disclosure.

Calibration & testing requirements for radar & blood alcohol

So after reading this post ...
http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic3398.html
... it seems nobody has been able to get the court to recognize that calibration/maintenance of radar should and needs to be done.

My question is if there IS a requirement for calibration/maintenance of blood alcohol machines? Are they required to keep these ...

Re: Requirement to Open Window?

There is no law/statute/regulation that requires you to put your window down all the way (well one exception, see the bottom of post).

I will put mine down only about 1 or 2 inches.

Usually the police officer does not like this and will ask you to put it down all the way, but I will simply say "No thank you it is fine like this."

You can also ...

Re: First speeding ticket will my insurance increase?

@bobajob - I agree that you should not lie. But if you have been charged with an offence but have not yet gone to trial and have not yet been found guilty, then you could ask "what if I was found guilty of XYZ offence" ... that is not lying.

Re: Requirement for police to identify themselves when asked

I spoke with an OPP Inspector today and had a good chat about this identification issue.

He said that as far as he knows there is NO act/statute/regulation that REQUIRES a uniformed police officer to identify themselves to you when you ask, but he would have no issue giving his name and badge number if somebody asked.

All Police are required to ...

Re: Requirement for police to identify themselves when asked

@highwaystar - I have previously read Meads v Meads. The other two are good reads as well, and yes the Duncan one is especially entertaining!

In R. v. Ainsworth it makes mention of R. v. Duncan 2012 O.J. No. 6405 which is different from the the one you mention of R. v. Duncan, 2013 ONCJ 160)

But I cannot find R. v. Duncan 2012 O.J. No. 6405 on ...

Re: Requirement for police to identify themselves when asked

Their name would be on the paper that you were served.
CORRECTION: What I meant to say was "If an officer were to violate my charter rights at say a RIDE checkpoint but did NOT lay a charge, then I would not know who they were."

I am not disagreeing with anybody's comments here.

My question again would be:
Is it an unreasonable request to ask ...

Re: Requirement for police to identify themselves when asked

Whether the officer lays a charge or not was not why I was asking.

Re: Requirement for police to identify themselves when asked

I assumed it was a myth (3 pieces of ID, business card) and just wanted to confirm that was the case.

So there is nothing that requires an officer to wear their badge in a visible location besides local police force policy?

But I don't think it is unreasonable to ask for an officers name and badge number, especially if the badge is not easily ...

Re: Requirement for police to identify themselves when asked

There must be a law somewhere dealing with this to some degree or another.

I did find this with regards to OPP specifically

ONTARIO PROVINCIAL POLICE ORDERS
6.11.7: IDENTIFICATION BADGE/WARRANT CARD
Carrying
- A uniform member shall, while in the lawful performance of duty, carry the identification badge/warrant card at all times, whether ...

Re: Requirement for police to identify themselves when asked

My question is what SPECIFIC laws/acts/statutes/regulations govern their identification (like badge) and is there a requirement to identify themselves if I ask them something like "what is your name and badge number". For example, if it's night, maybe I cannot see the badge number very well, so if I ask them do they have to tell me?

There are some ...
