Police pulled me over and stating the exchange was recorded and said "I've got you at 101km/hr" and shows me that reading on his gun. I was in a 60km/hr zone. Next thing I know rego plates have come off and he issues me with a penalty notice that says "over 45 km/hr, estimated", 6 months immediate license suspension. No justification given why he has booked me for the higher range, given 101 should draw an over 30km/hr offence.
I initially challenged the suspension, with the magistrate throwing it out, in effect stating there is no way to challenge the police evidence. I missed the section of the Road Traffic Act that he quoted but I think it was Section 268. There was no statement of facts or any detail provided by the prosecution. The magistrate suggested I could still challenge the penalty notice.
I'm assuming I would have to admit fault the to the 45km/hr charge but ask for leniency based on the evidence?
Is there a way to get a statement of facts about the matter from police?
