So basically you're saying that I should ask for this information at the court date?

thanks

Thanks everyone for your comments,

im preparing for my trial date beginning of January. I haven't yet requested information regarding the vehicle, if any of you could walk me through the process I deeply appreciate it.

Best regards,

if he just gave u this ticket and u didnt discuss any details with him, and there was no witnesses, someone might have hit u and ran away which resulted u in drifting on the side

i requested the disclosure, only received the officer notes.

Anyone can walk me through the steps of obtaining OPP vehicle calibration records and service records?

Thanks for your replies,

So I guess the officer was smart to give me the disobey legal sign rather than speeding since its near to impossible to throw it off.

I'm going to keep researching, is there a way to find out about cases and precedents in courts online?

Thanks Screeech and Jsherk,

If he had a radar he has no reason not to use it, as its a cutting edge technology. I've had a friend of mine stopped with high rate of speed ticket and was taken off cuz officer didnt have a radar on him and was based on his opinion. officers lie too, we all know that and the JP knows that. thats the reason radar is ...

I agree with Jsherk, GEt disclosure first. A good lawyer and a prudent one shouldn't charge more than 150-200 depending on how nice you talk to them haha.

Good luck

There won't be any speedometer calibration records...
If there was a radar in that cruiser, and there likely was, the officer will testify to the patrol speed on the radar confirmed with the speedometer in the car...

I dont think thats a valid argument. As to what seems to be the case, officer's opinion is irrelevant. If its not calibrated then ...

It really depends, If you're not planning to change your insurance company/vehicle for the next two years then go for early resolution or go for trial and experience it first hand.
If you already have tickets and demerit points accumulated on your drivers abstract then i'd say dont risk getting your license suspended if you're reaching the maximum ...

Thanks Jsherk for all these info. Thats deep.
Should I write a letter to the prosecutor to obtain the SUV records, Or to OPP?

Regards,

Attacking speedometer means asking a lot of questions about whether it was accurate or not. For example, when was it last tested/calibrated?

But again even if you get the speedometer reading thrown out, the officer simply saying he thought you were going above 100km will probably be enough for them to convict as the JP will most likely believe ...

The officer will testify that you were driving above the speed limit, which is the sign that was disobeyed. The officer will testify why he thinks you were speeding and when the prosecutor is finished with him you will have your chance to cross examine. If you wish to tell the court that you were only doing 110Km/H, as was everyone else, you will ...

So now even if you get those things all thrown out, will the JP believe the officers testimony (based only on the officers opinion), that you were travelling greater than the posted speed limit. Of course I am making an assumption here that the charge for "disobey sign" is that you disobeyed the speed limit sign.
Based on the written ticket and ...

RE: screeech,

Looking backwards, He was parked right before where he stopped me, He was parked on the shoulder facing on wards not sideways, he sped up and I was just thinking its a regular suv that was parked for whatever reason, hence, he didn't pace me for long.

is it beneficial to obtain his video/audio recording? I could be above the speed ...
