Legislator summary
AI generatedThe appellate court upheld the first-instance verdict convicting the defendant of speeding by 31 km/h in a residential area. The defendant argued that police witnesses were unreliable due to delayed arrest and that radar measurements were flawed because other vehicles were present on the road. The court rejected these claims, finding the expert opinion conclusive and the witnesses credible despite their official status.
