Reading that latest release makes me think it's not the law entirely, but the judges. Every law is undefendable in theory once the facts have been proven. But the judges unwillingness to hear and take into account the women who was passing a truck (which no one likes to drive beside/behind) is what caused the problem.
True, the law should state some sort of def. for how long/distance travelled at 50+. But if I saw someone doing that, I probably wouldn't pull them over, because it's been a defence to speeding; passing other vehicles. If you're charged, it's up to the officer to prove your intent was to continue on speeding, and not simply pass the other vehicle.
I don't think the law dropped the ball on this, I think the OPP and the Judge did.
Also, police services don't see the ticket "revenue" as one poster here would think of it.
They use to, but because of that exact thinking is why they don't anymore. All that money goes to our law passing government.
