The court denied the defendant's speculative disclosure requests for officer notes, discipline records, and device manuals in a routine speeding case.
The defendant brought a motion for disclosure of materials in a speeding offense case.
The defendant sought: (1) notes of other tickets issued by the officer that day; (2) discipline and human resource records of the officer; (3) the complete user manual for the laser speed measuring device; (4) calibration and maintenance history of the device; and (5) the officer's training record.
The court denied most requests as speculative fishing expeditions lacking sufficient factual foundation or likely relevance.
The prosecution agreed to provide the officer's qualification date and confirmation of qualification on the date of the offense.
The matter was remanded for trial.
