No notes means officer has no testimony! If all he has to say is "I clocked the defendant at ", and that satisfies the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, then I would ask, what kind of kangaroo court is this?
Is it perjury to say you "don't recall" even if you do? If they are considered evidence, are they filed at the end of each shift? Who controls them after that point? Who controls them after you request disclosure?
What is to prevent them from re-writing them in incredible detail and submitting those for disclosure? If you ask for notes on testing of the radar unit, what is to prevent them from adding them? Who copies the notes and sends them? Can he add details during testimony and cross examination that are not in the notes?
And see each other in court all the time Sorry that might be coming off as a bit of a rant. I am sure you can understand my frustration at this.
This kangaroo court is our great Canadian un-justice system at work! But I would agree that the chances of him actually putting it in his notes are about zero. All he needs to put in his notes are the elements to prove you guilty. If you lie on the stand then that is perjury, so saying you "do not recall" when you in fact do recall would be considered perjury I don't have answer, but maybe somebody else can chime in.
I would like to think that a police officer would never "re-write" their notes or add anything to them, but again how could you prove it if they did? The reality is that most police officers would not do that, but I am sure that there are some that would.
A few bad apples spoils the whole bunch! The police officer themselves copies the notes and sends them to prosecutor who then sends them to you. The officer is supposed to have independent recollection of the events, so asking lots of questions that are not in the notes traffic, color of car, what was I wearing, number of occupants, weather, etc could be good to add more doubt if the officer does not remember any of those things.
See first response above about "This kangaroo court is our great Canadian un-justice system at work! You ask great questions, and the answer is to learn how to "play the game" yourself and stop handing them the win on a silver platter!
I really appreciate the advice Do the cops have to note what mode the radar unit is in? Can your summary and closing statements not act as a sort of testimony and be included in the proceedings towards creating reasonable doubt?
There is no burden of proof for the officer to prove they made a reasonable attempt to determine strongest target. Did they test unit per manufacturers instructions so it was functioning properly? Did they receive some kind of training within the last couple years? Did they say that you looked liked you were speeding? Did they say the device said you were speeding? That's all they need to say! The burden of proof is on you to somehow show some kind of reasonable doubt to what the officer said, which is done mostly thru cross examination questions and sometimes thru your own testimony.
The officer does not have to note what mode it was in, but you can ask them. But if it is not in their notes, then this again with some related questions could add some more doubt to their answer. And you could ask them what the difference modes do or how they work, etc. So again whatever mode they say, you need to know how they work and some questions related to those modes.
Your summary and closing statements is to point out all the issues that you brought up in cross examination and your testimony. Service Return Procedure Quick Start Instructions 1.
