Jeremy Duplissie was riding his motorcycle in the 10,300 block of 272 Street in Maple Ridge. This road has a posted speed limit of 50 km/h. The speed chosen by Mr. Duplissie was measured at just over 100 km/h by Corporal Martin. A ticket for excessive speeding was issued and subsequently disputed.
At trial, Mr. Duplisse was represented by his lawyer, Miss C. Waker. At issue were the following points:
- Notes concerning the serial number of the tuning forks used to test the radar
- Notes concerning the speed of the police vehicle when the radar reading was made
- Notes concerning the distance to the motorcycle and length of Cpl. Martin's observation in making the visual speed estimation
- What the serial number of the radar instrument was
These points were dealt with individually by Judicial Justice S. Joseph-Tiwary who cited applicable case law.
Ultimately Mr. Duplissie was convicted for excessive speeding.
