Thank you very much for your response.

The facts are, that I was traveling westbound and that he was most likely monitoring westbound traffic.

However in his notes he states that he was monitoring eastbound traffic and that I was travelling eastbound; two very incorrect facts.

Question is, how do I use the incorrect facts stated in his notes to my advantage..

Hi,

I have received disclosure from the crown. The copy of the officer's notes / narrative include some very substantive errors. EG: Have me travelling in the wrong direction.

I wish to cross-examine the officer's evidence based on the errors in the note's narrative. Do I need to enter my copy of the police narrative into evidence in order to refer to them in court ?

Thank you for you assistance.

Hmmm, if I had to guess...a lot of officer reports are being done by civilian data entry people, they just call up, leave a recorded message as to what they want the report to say the data entry person puts the verbal report on the occurrence report on the computer system. This is a new way of freeing up officers from spending too much time in the office and not being out on the road. If that were the case, would it not leave a lot of room for error. When did the officer relay this information to the typist ?, Did the typist correctly transcribe all the details, without error? Can the transcr...

Hi,

In filing a disclosure request, I received a document titled " Text Narrative". I was expecting a photocopy of the officer's notes, but instead received a 1.5 page types narrative.

Where would the original information for this have come from ?

Thank you

Hi again, I'm sure you are all correct and speak from a position of experience regarding the private property issue. My approach in fighting a ticket on occasion, has been to apply the the spaghetti principle. You throw everything against the wall and see was sticks. In doing this, it makes the matter appear more of a demanding task for the prosecutors and more of a demand on their time. Given there limited resources and time, I suggest it tends to make them more willing to negotiate. Thank you for your input and comments, they are appreciated. On the actual matter at hand, it appears from a l...

The facts relating to where the officer was situated was stated in the incomplete disclosure made by the crown. In the officers notes, she states that she was parked on the Toyota lot on xx street.

The poisonous fruit may be an an American idiom, but most certainly, the principle applies in the execution of an officers' duty. An officer must be acting withing all confines of the law; most especially when exercising their legal authority. That is not disputable.

So an officer acting under criminal trespass has no bearing ? I can't agree with that, sorry.

Hi Decatur,

Why did you phrase the statement by saying 'that you believe to be ". Are you suggesting that I could be mistaken about it being private or is it the fact even if it were private property; it's inconsequential ?

I thank you for the clarification on points 1 and 2, however I disagree with you regarding police access on to private property. My understanding and I have heard and seen "authorization" asked for and provided in court. Otherwise, the officer is trespassing and can not be acting lawfully in the execution of his duties; Fruit of the poisonous tree

My follow up was actually going to be that I have been aggrieved by the failure to receive these documents in a timely manner. I will have to appear in court twice . I have had to visit the prosecutor's offices, on no less than six occasions. There are costs associated with everyone of these visit to either the court or the offices. There is time taken away from my family, my work and my other responsibilities. This to me, appears an unreasonable burden placed on me, given the charge and given that the original burden and duty lies with the Prosecutor. And ultimately, what purpose, what benefi...

Hi Everyone,

I received an unfavorable decision today regarding a speeding violation.

I wish to proceed with an appeal ( it's more fun then watching strap like American Idol .

May I ask what is the first step and the appropriate form(s) required please .

I would think that as a measuring device it would have to be on some sort of maintenance schedule; perhaps annually

Hi,

I suspect that certain requirements exist for the periodic maintenance of police speed measuring devices; is there a legislative source for these requirements ?

Hi hwybear,

I take the view that everything matters; some things to a much greater or lesser degree then others, but as the expression goes "all is fouter (sp) for the grease mill"
