Timothy Newbury was charged with speeding 84 km/h in a 50 km/h zone. At trial, the officer testified that he observed Newbury speeding and used a laser device to measure his speed. However, the officer's notes of the incident were very brief and did not match his testimony. When cross-examined, the officer also did not properly conduct the manufacturer-recommended tests of the laser device's accuracy. Due to the unreliable testing and sparse notes, the judge found reasonable doubt and dismissed the speeding charge.
