The update: It was a long and winding road. Firstly, thanks to the information I gleaned from this site and Ticket Combat, I learned enough about the court system to fumble my way through this. On April 6, 2011, I proceeded to the Ontario Court of Justice, at 5 Ray Lawson Blvd., Brampton, where I applied for a trial hearing and received a Notice Of Trial to appear at the Brampton Courthouse on December 15, 2011. I applied for disclosure on August 22, 2011, and was told Id receive a phone call for pick up. I never received a phone call so returned to the Courthouse October 7. A disclosure packa...

Hi, Can anyone tell me if the Genesis VP Directional handheld radar gun is or was ever made with a LED display screen please? I have received disclosure and it lists the device used as the Genesis VP Directional with what I presume is a serial or tag #2172. There is also 3 photocopied pages from the Genesis Handheld Directional (GHD) User's manual and 2 pages from the Genesis VP Directional User's Manual. I have tracked down the full manuals on the web and looking through both of them they depict units with LCD screens, not LED. Could it be that the one I saw in the cops hand was just an older...

Thanks for the OP clarification. It doesn't make the whole answer much clearer however, unless you mean because you unable to represent me, not to worry.

Does the Prosecutors office have the various radar operating manuals on hand? or would I have to go to the Police to request a copy or at least be given the opportunity to read it on site?

Thanks again

Excuse my ignorance, but what does "OP" stand for?

While I remained at the scene after the ticket it was obvious that anything that moved warranted a zap with the radar gun, whether there was one vehicle approaching or several together as well as traffic traveling both directions in the same zone. If I just come straight out and ask if there was a vehicle behind me I'm sure I'll get a "No" or a "I don't recall". That was the main reason I went home for the camera with a zoom lens, and probably one of the reasons they wrapped up the session when I returned. Strangely (or maybe not) there is no mention of me waiting at the sc...

I don't know that I can prove the other vehicle was traveling faster, I am hoping to suggest that, and attempt to introduce doubt so that the reading could be attributed to either vehicle. Unless you know of a strategy to prove it?

I have already requested disclosure a 2nd time, on October 7, but as of today I haven't received it.

As I understand the process I have to wait 'til 15 or 16 days before the trial date then file paperwork requesting a Stay because of incomplete disclosure. Correct?

Thanks for the reply. From the research I have done so far I am aware that the direction of travel is indicated on the radar gun display while in use. When I was shown the reading the cop was standing next to my vehicle and I was viewing the display from a pretty close range and I do not recall seeing a direction indicator, Knowing the make and model would allow me to do more accurate searches and I hope an opportunity to view the operators manual. Most error code information I have found so far implies the letter E would be followed by a number which would be listed in an error code table in ...

Hello, I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction to track down various radar gun error codes. Way back in March of this year I was stopped for speeding, 86kmh in a 60 Community Safety Zone, on Mayfield Rd., on the outskirts of Brampton. (Aloa school) The cop was using hand held radar, standing off to the side of the road in a school parking lot. I was travelling westbound with another vehicle 1 maybe 2 car lengths behind me and almost into me when I braked, I was waved into the parking lot and asked "if I was aware they were using radar in the area?" Err "no" ...
