Re: Speeding 139 - June10 Court Date

Thanks to everyone who replied to this thread with feedback and advice.

Yes, I was prepared, but I think you should be if you decide to defend yourself. You need explore all the angles and have an attack plan.

Officer was a no show, case closed.

From this experience, I've learned a few things. Most people are ignorant of their power. A high ...

Re: self-testing devices

I will definitely bring this up in court (if I have to proceed with trial that is).

However, I did find some case law with respect to external testing that does not support this argument.

See R. v. Laarakker 2008
Here is a quote:
" In the case before me today, Cst. Lamirante claims he tested the radar gun in accordance with the operators ...

Re: failure to obey lane sign - Fine $110

Anna,

You stand a very good chance of winning! You were very smart to challenge the ticket and take it to court.

The law states that in the City of Toronto (and many other areas in Ontario), signs must be bilingual. However, most signs are NOT. YOu need to go back to the intersection and look at the sign. If it is in English only, you are in ...

Re: Law on Speeding and Radar Textbook

RI, thanks for the reply. I already contact the toronto public library. They have a copy for reference only (i.e. i cant sign it out).

I'll look around in the bookstores. Chapters and Amazon do not have it.

Didn't think of the UofT library. CAn a non student sign ...

Re: self-testing devices

With what you just wrote, I wouldn't want to answer the questions........ However, HwyBear has mentioned in the past that there is a fourth test. It is completed in the office by a guy on a computer. This test simulates the emitted radiation, light with LIDAR. However, at no point is the actual intensity of the LIDAR beam tested. As I understand ...

Re: self-testing devices

I have a court case coming up on June10 where I will be defending myself in a speeding case. My first appearance was May25, but was adjourned due to lack of disclosure (radar manual).

I have since received disclosure and have recieved a copy of the radar manual for Decatur Genesis VP Directional. In terms of testing, the manual only mentions a ...
