Ok... so I was having a cocktail yesterday and I remember that it was out of Ontario that the law got struck down... Quebec I think because they had aerial surveillance for years.
Thats when Ontario took it out. I have been on CanLII but the Quebec ruling are obviously in French. I will get a girl I know in Montreal to check it out for me… I still need to go to the library and check it out there… Im sure its out there somewhere!!
Ill keep you posted.

I totally understand the logic of the average speed argument... I'm just saying that I'm absolutely sure it was struck down 20+ years ago becuase the judge decided that it was not sufficient to sustain the charge.

Quebec Ticket
Sorry, I know this may be out of scope for this forum but there is a lot of knowledge here so I thought I might try to tap it.

Legality of Aircraft for Speeding
I'm a newbie so go easy on me. I found this forum and did some reading yesterday and found it pretty interesting. My question/query is this...

I am ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN (although I can't site the case) that aircraft went away because the law was essentially struck down. This is because the judge ruled that... I'm going to paraphrase... that since the aircraft was timing a car between two fixed points, they could not pinpoint any exact speed a...
