Re: truly was not speeding

Never been to that site before I thought it was pay for download...... Actually I thought you were getting a cut that's why you linked me there. $8.99 US for 24 hr access. I thought it uncouth to look a gift horse in the mouth so I ponied up so to speak.

I hear you on the legal system. A while back I dropped over $5k on a accident reconstruction ...

Re: truly was not speeding

another thought;

I was pulling a 53 ft long empty flat bed trailer. It seems logical to me that part of the beam was hitting the back of the trailer 40 meters in front of the patrol car and reflecting back whilst another part of the beam was hitting the back of my truck 16 meters father ahead (i.e. 56 meters from the patrol car) and reflecting a ...

Re: truly was not speeding

Ok so I paid my $10 for the 2010 manual posted (thanks) and now I have a better understanding of how it works. Having a really hard time figuring how he could have locked me in at 72.

-Decatur claims faster/slower is selected automatically.
-I thought I had something with RF interference with all the houses in the area but apparently Genesis 2 ...

Re: Radar Manual- No tuning forks and No tracking history

Amazing how if tuning forks are so obsolete, there are still sold by Decatur. How is anyone supposed to verify the speed of an oncoming vehicle?

Pretty sad, how we can't get operator manuals. I requested disclosure and got only the test procedure, which is a joke. I went to the police ...

Re: truly was not speeding

OK so I went to see the clerk about applying for a re-opening even though I was pretty sure I had no chance. The trial/conviction date was approx 10 weeks ago. Sure enough she said:

1. You are too late. You only have 15 days to apply for a re-opening.
2. You have already applied for a new trial, and been given your appeal date therefore I have ...

Re: truly was not speeding

I will scan, redact and post some info. Thanks.

I found this interesting text from another thread on this forum. It seems like exactly what happened to me (i.e. the large moving object in front of the patrol car would be the tractor trailer that I was driving at 40-50 km/hr by the time he was following me). Any comments from forum members versed ...

Genesis II - moving mode (slower or faster)

From the Decatur website, I have obtained the specs from the Decatur Genesis II Select. Under the heading "Computer - Speed Ranges" what does the following mean?

Moving Mode Same Direction - Target (Slower or Faster)
From the user's selected minimum speed separation up to 75% of patrol speed"

Re: truly was not speeding

So the officers notes themselves do not show that it was tested at 9:30 prior to commencement of enforcement action? Only in the summary from the prosecutor?
I can't be sure what's in officer's notes prior to the time of my ticket. All notes prior to the time of my stop at 12:42 pm have been redacted or were not provided. Notes after the stop say ...

Re: truly was not speeding

If the officer is lying, I do not see any way you can prove he lied. Your only chance is to maybe bring reasonable doubt to the device reading. Do notes say he tested it both before AND after your stop.
I was pulled over at 12:42 pm

Radar evidence rec'd from crown as part of disclosure states that "the radar was tested at 0930 hrs prior to the ...

Radar and GPS

Is there data available (perhaps within the Decatur Genesis that shows where the radar unit was (i.e. lat/long) when the speed was recorded?

Re: truly was not speeding

At roadside, I told the officer that I was doing 59 when he first saw me crest the hill. Is my roadside statement admissable?

Re: truly was not speeding

Excellent points about the re opening. I will visit the clerk tomorrow.

I understand by suggesting the Taurus cruiser couldn't be fast enough basically amounts to calling the officer a liar. I have been told never to put a judge in the position of calling a cop a liar. Unfortunately, that is what my evidence will suggest. After presenting my ...
