was this a illegal seat belt stop?

Hello All. Interesting one here. I was pulled over by a OPP in town after waiting at a red light with several other cars. He arrived at my window and said he pulled me over for not wearing a seat belt and could he see my DL, INS etc which I gave to him. Pink ins slip was out of date, but other than ...

Re: 44km/h over - 5 Great Questions Inside :)

Maybe ask your broker (and a couple of new ones since not all brokers deal with all insurance companies) to quote you a hypothetical rate with a new ins co to see if you can get similar premium if you take a plea. Some insurance companies will give you a free ticket.

Re: 44km/h over - 5 Great Questions Inside :)

6) Since I don't have disclosure with me before ER, I'm going to ask the prosecutor if I can see the notes (or whatever he has). What are some things I should look for in the notes just to make sure he did everything according to the law, and if not I can get the case thrown away? You may as well g...

Re: 44km/h over - 5 Great Questions Inside :)

If I understand you correctly, you were tagged with 104 in a 60 and you're upset because the officer was set up to get you just as you came into the 60? So that means you were doing 104 in an 80....24 over? I *might* see your point if you were doing 80 90 or even 95 in an 80 but 104 in an 80? Take a...

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

Post deleted. On second thought, I'll send you an e-mail instead. The walls have ears. Next thing you know, the OPP will have Decatur revise the manual again.

Re: 44km/h over - 5 Great Questions Inside :)

A paralegals value IMO is knowledge of court proceedings, ability to talk in court and possibly a report with the crown that may get a favorable plea. Last time I was in court a paralegal walked into the little room to discuss a taxi drivers careless charge and came out with a miracle..... following...

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

It clearly states in the Genesis operator manual that I read, before the officer locks a speeder, the officer must compare that the speedo reading and the radar patrol speed are the same. Do you know what section of the manual it says this in? Nope. I wasn't allowed to take pictures or make copies....

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

Perhaps people who allegedly know about these things don't want to give too many details as having too much education out there may affect their livelihood... I suspect you're correct. Which is shameful and begs the question, why are these people in this forum then? To spread half truths? It is a t...

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

When I read that quote about VIP, I just understand it to mean that the unit is using the signal from patrol vehicle computer (via vip/vss cable) to compare against the patrol vehicle speed that is being generated by the radar. The radar is receiving multiple signals back and has to determine which...

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

It does not obtain the patrol speed from the VIP. ...the Genesis radar does accept vehicle speed through the VIP..... but it doesn't establish the patrol speed through it. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: My head hurts. Obviously, when you say vehicle speed you mean speed of the patr...

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

Good find :D This does infer that the patrol speed displayed on the radar device is still determined by radar though. Where do you see that inference? I don't see any mention of the radar antenna being used to determine patrol speed in a VIP equipped radar unit. To quote hwybear, "VIP (vehicle...

If the radar antenna still determines PS then how is shadowing eliminated by plugging in VIP?

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

I would think that the people that allegedly use this device would know what it plugs into. Voila. The big mystery is solved. " The VIP™ is a compact module that plugs into the diagnostic port of the vehicle improving the performance of the Genesis II Select™ radar. The ...

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

What does the v.i.p. plugin do? Exactly. And how does the VIP eliminate shadowing? The OPP instructor and I discussed this at length and I thought I understood it. I suppose I'll have to get another speeding ticket so I can sit with him again and review the manual. Maybe he'll just get tired of me ...
