Radar Used By Officer Driving In Front
Hello,
Just back from a trip down the 401. Hubby met a fine OPP officer who gave him a ticket for 146 km/hr in a posted 100 km/hr zone. The fine seems right, set $276, payable $341. Officer was travelling in front of hubby's car, and hubby asked how he was able to determine his speed as he does not think he was going that fast. Officer indicated that the police car is equipped with "antenna in the front and back". That answer does not make a lot of sense to me, so I am here to ask, can officers use radar on cars travelling behind them? How else may speed be determined from in front of the ticketed driver?
The officer slowed down and moved over for hubby to pass and then proceeded to pull him over.
I am interested in your thoughts, and understand that what is written in disclosure matters the most. Unfortunately to take this to trial means a drive of a few hours.
Thank you for the assistance
