A driver's argument against a speeding ticket backfired when he produced his key piece of evidence – that his illegal radar detector hadn't gone off.
That admission cost him another ticket, Halton Sgt. Brian Carr said on Wednesday.
He was clocked at 92 km/h in a 70 km/h zone on Appleby Line using a LIDAR (Laser Speed Measuring Device), Carr said.
"The driver vehemently denied the officer had clocked him on LIDAR," he said. "He triumphantly produced a LIDAR/RADAR detector and indicated that it never activated and therefore the officer had not obtained a speed reading."
The unit was seized and the Smithville man was issued an additional ticket for possessing a speed-measuring detector. The devices are illegal in Ontario.
During their recent crackdown of a rural areas north of Dundas St. in Burlington, police issued 959 tickets and gave 362 cautions, most for speeding.

FAIL

Never underestimate the stupidity of idiots...

The additional fine would pay for a nice illegal laser jammer that would have saved him. ;)

LOL no doubt, and Fail for sure! I think everyone on the forum that would have thought about using a detector as a defense should look at this news story and take note, that, IT WILL NOT WORK!

How many people have come on here complaining they got a ticket with their "360 degree laser protection" detectors...
