Does a police officer's failure to explicitly state that he tested the manufacturer’s specifications or instructions affect the reliability of a radar device?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Ko, 2013 ONCJ 451 (CanLII):
[69] In my view, the failure of the police officer to explicitly state that he tested the radar device in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications or instructions is not a factor which affects the reliability of the speed-measurement of the motor vehicle being driven by the defendant, as recorded by the subject radar device. In reaching this conclusion, I have followed the reasoning enunciated by Pockele J. in Regina v. Russell, supra.
