There is more panning than you realize as target is moving rapidly and has to stay in middle of cross hairs. Also as I stated there is no stand, right? That means there is handshake. Then you have the problem of beam width and 1.8m radius around car that lidar is all the time measuring at 300m.

The lidar/radar guns are only tested by the ...

People are getting hung over the term least squares. All you need to know is that an average doesn't guard against outlier results and is affected by them.

The lidar algorithm doesn't discard sweep error results. It discards outlier results. If there is too much sweep the sweeping results might not be the outlier result.

On 8x magnification there ...

You stated the average of least squares will guard against sweep error. I would like you to expand on the theory that you learned in training.

You can dumb it down anyway you like. If you have 2 sweep error readings and 3 "good" ones how will the average of least squares guard against the 2 sweep error readings?

Can you expand on the average of least squares will guard against sweep error? Is that your personal theory?

What will happen to the lidar algorithm if the sweep error is bad enough?

Do you know why FOV is important here?

What is the Field of vision at 8x magnification? Can you answer that question or not?

There will be sweep error.

What is FOV at 8x magnification?

I meant to write including objects in reading @ 2X width of beam.

Really not sure how calculation was made or if it was taken but he really can't say what he could've hit in a 0.9 m radius circle 300 meters away in the dark. Yeah if it contradicts distance reading you go to town on his training.

Can anyone really target a moving object 300 meters ...

The purpose of having a standardized template for the officer's notes which has beam width specified is so the officer will document what the beam width is at the distance of the lidar reading. The officer is not putting the beam width of the lidar gun at 300 meters there. The reading was taken at approximately 300 meters away so that is why the ...

The officer wrote in his notes the beam width was 0.9m. It changes over distance. So the officer had to be approximately 300 meters away when he obtained the reading. If the beam width is 0.9m that means officer can miss the plate by that much and still theoretically get laser beams back from hitting it and therefore readings. However, it also ...

The officer was approximately 300 meters away based on my calculations using beam width of .9m and lidar gun specs.

What was volume of traffic? Obviously it was dark but was it raining ( I can't make out the RDS conditions)?

Basically the officer is stating he is sure he wasn't off by 0.9m at a distance of 300m aiming at a car's registration ...

I believe the officer has to record his notes no later than one week after the incident. His notes are basically the disclosure you will be given. Ask officer when he wrote his notes and prosecutor reason for delay. There really shouldn't have been a delay there.

In reality Argyll, as it relates to bias, we are both very biased. However, I am upfront about mine. I don't wish personal harm to befall officers but I don't wish them a nice day or a peaceful life so that I can look objective or to irritate them whatever the case may be.

Once again you bestow upon yourself the ability to know why other people ...

I could go on and on but believe it or not I don't really want to as I find ...

I'm giving good advice. To adequately prepare for a trial one should realize what they are up against.

Even if you look on this website most people that have radar gun equipment logos or are former police officers arent sympathetic to your viewpoint. No matter the situation they deep down want you to lose and will look for arguments to confirm ...

Zatota,

The first appeal I had I lost. I proved mathematically that the officer's observations severely contradicted the radar gun reading. The judge took over 3 hours to deliberate but stated the reason I lost was because I didn't take the stand to declare my innocence. I stated math is the ultimate proof basically and therefore didnt need to ...

You keep missing the point badly Argyll. The manager of prosecutions didn't just decide to not try the appeal case because he is a nice guy or felt sorry for a raving lunatic as your logic would have us believe. He dropped the case as the Senior prosecutor because he couldn't convict based on how I portrayed the officer and his evidence.

You wish ...

Argyll,

Your point that you can't trash the officer's judgment and character is completely untrue.

The JP allowed me to read the perjury case against him in court and to repeatedly trash him as a liar and evidence fabricator when I took the stand. The prosecutor wasn't able to stop me as I was presenting testimony that spoke to the character of ...

What the officer does is very relevant. As I posted in another thread I won a speeding case because I absolutely shredded the officer's character. When I asked him if he ever fabricated evidence or committed perjury I caught him in a lie about lying in another case that had nothing to do with mine.

I constantly accused him of being a liar in my ...

The officer probably doesn't have you with radar. I think that is the reason for non-disclosure.

Do you think the officer wants to admit he was doing 135km in front of you, without his lights on and obviously going for entrapment? For a JP to take the officer's testimony for a conviction he has to be convinced of his judgment and integrity. You ...

Questions to ask:

1) Were WE speeding that day?

2) I thought I was just keeping up with traffic and wasn't looking at my speedometer. Are you sure you were going that fast and if you are why didn't you have your lights on?

3) Approximately how far behind you was I?

4) How long did you observe me for?

5) Can you typically make rear view ...

The officer can claim when she first saw me it looked as if I wasn't wearing a seat belt. I don't think I can nail her on initially believing that I wasn't wearing a seat belt based on not seeing it in spite of the terribly difficult visual against the sun. I can severely question her judgment for issuing a ticket under those circumstances though ...

I still need an answer regarding when and how I have to inform the prosecution/court of my daughter being a witness.

What's so horrifying about getting my daughter to take the stand and tell everyone that she saw her dad put on his seatbelt? The prosecutor won't grill my 7 year old daughter or I will immediately object that the issue of me wearing a seat belt has been asked and answered and he is trying to intimidate the witness.

Look, in all probability the ...

Not very many people are willing to go to internal affairs to destroy an officer's career for lying on the stand. That in itself is a risk that shouldn't be taken lightly. Now you have an insistant child that knows she saw her dad put the seat belt on. She knows because I almost always have to fight my son to put his on which was particularly true ...

Sure I do. It is very easy to recreate what the officer testifies to in court and prove it isn't possible to see what she claimed she could.

My wife has better than perfect vision and can't make it out. The officer absolutely can not see seat belts from a rear view mirror with sun shining going east in my car. My daughter is absolutely sure of me ...

I think i will go early resolution. Once prosecutor attempts pathetic intimidation tactic I will tell him if officer steps into court and proceeds to lie about being able to see a person's seat belt while driving and looking into rear view mirror against the blazing sun that day I will attempt to end her career with internal affairs post trial and ...

I recently won an appeal where the manager of prosecutions stated he didn't have a strong enough case to prosecute and the justice made an erroneous decision.

The initial trial was a ticket for 20km over in a 50km/hr zone. Officer claimed radar lock at 250 metres and lone vehicle in the beam. I thought officer bumped speed and asked to see radar ...

Can I use my 7 year old daughter to testify as a witness? I was driving with my mother-in-law from Spain and soon to be 5 year old son to his soccer game in AM. My mother-in-law will be back in Spain when the trial starts.


I approached officer from behind while she was driving. Turned left with her going East facing glaring sun. When I passed ...

So you are sitting in your cop car hiding and waiting for someone going 20km/hr over the speed limit at 8:30am in July. You care deeply about the community. The person you pull over is doing 81km/hr in a 50km/hr zone or that is at least what your radar flashes. He has never beaten his wife or robbed someone, done drugs past alcohol and then only in ...

Argyll I get your bias. I am not above bias either, I think cops are f'ing parasites. I ran occurrence data from the WRPS for 2014 that shows how many tickets were issued and when. For this one school location I was interested in it shows cops issued 19 tickets between 8-9am and 3 tickets between 9am-10am. Guess how many one and dones there were in ...
