I said I am familiar with the roadway, as I used to travel that route regularly. I didn't say I was familiar with it that day. Maybe I am misreading but you said in one post that it was at the bottom of the hill, but then you said Clayton was out riding his headlights as he was cresting a hill???
As I have I am sure the SIU have looked at all the data including the cruisers black box. You will note that at no point did I say the officer stopped prior to making his turn just suggested he may have done a mirror and shoulder check. But again if clayton has been riding properly, even 20 k over he would have been a LOT closer behind the cruiser and surely the officer would have seen him and Clayton would have seen the cruiser on the road pre turn. Certainly the officer was there and made decisions as did Clayton. However the officer wasn't committing an offense at the time if the collision only Clayton was. Also the investigation stated that given the conditions a reasonable person couldn't have seen the bike or foreseen the collision. I understand you don't want to accept that. But that us the conclusion of the investigators with all the facts. Respectfully, your getting some of tour information second hand from the family. It is human nature that in circumstances such as these people hear what they want to hear and not necessarily what was said. Again my condolences.
Come on now. Google maps? If you really care go there yourself. There is a memorial where the impact was. Google maps won't show ****. And even if you go there it will look like a wide open 4 lane road with lots of visibility. Unlike it was that night with all of the construction going on. Within a couple days of the accident they had taken the barrier down. That is why I never posted picks of the scene, because they had changed it almost immediately.
I've got a day job and a busy life. Why not point it out on Google Maps, if it's just going to show the same thing anyway? It doesn't sound like there's a pressing reason to go to the site.
Scroll back a page. I've got a 16hr day job and a few part time gigs. I couldn't go myself, but sent the ladyfriend to snap pics for you.
Wayyyy too many ftp attitudes on here. Wait til someone breaks into your house and see how you react to cops then. I've got tickets, I've had cops turn in front of me responding to calls. But I wasn't speeding so it didn't matter. Most of you make it sound like all the cops are out to get you.

Seems to be lacking in this thread too.U-turn's are just as bad as left turners. They haven't been in the news lately, but in years past there have been a few riders that have lost their lives to people doing them.
A cop almost collected me a few years ago on Lakeridge road performing a cowboy maneuver, i understand they have calls to go to, but common sense seems to be lacking in the world nowadays.

Btw - He was in a street car.Let's look at it another way.
We all saw the video of Sammy Yatin the guy shot to death that was in a subway car surrounded by Police (shot to death in less than 2 minutes, takes longer to write a parking ticket than being killed)...now that is with full video and audio and how did that turn out
SO
What do you really expect with this situation?
Casacrow: my "motive" is to point out just how wrong soooo many members were. Look back at my posts in June most of. Them said wait for an investigation.
Well guess what EXPERTS have done the investigation. You have NO qualifications yet seem to think yourself a "CSI". You drive for a living that doesn't make you an expert on collision investigation nor reconstruction. You posted a false statement earlier in this thread I pointed out your error. You admitted you didn't know the "legalities" well my friend when dealing with a fatal collision the "legalities" matter. You then said YRP will investigate and charge the officer. Again your wrong.
Now tour accusing the DIU of using a term improperly. I guess the SIU didn't look at the cruisers black box and gps data but I guess you have??? Gmafb. Your accepting the "story" you have now gotten supposedly THIRD hand. (the SIU told the family who then told dvsbullet who then posted it here. I hope the police and SIU NEVER adopt your method of investigating.
You have posted that regardless of what the SIU said you felt the officer deserves to be charged. BUT now that someone posted something that seems to favor your position as supposedly related third hand from the SIU. The SIU must on THAT point be right??? Pick a side will you. Your all over the place like a hard rubber ball.
I could care less about this officer, I don't know him or any of the SIU investigators that I know of.
So let me ask you. A vehicle moves the the far right of a roadway, (one which even by your admission at the time was narrowed), that vehicle then makes a turn in an attempt to travel in the opposite direction. What do YOU call that a left turn?? I was taught when I started driving 38 years ago it is a U TURN. But no that wouldn't fit your conspiracy "theory" i can send you some tin foil.
The FACT is clear the investigation, (the parts of which support your conspiracy is the only parts which are correct but the SIU apparently screwed everything else which doesn't support your conspiracy up). It concluded the officer was NOT at fault that a contributing factor was the excessive speed of a reckless rider. Even his friend, (and kudos to him for doing so), admits he was:
1. Speeding;
2. Riding beyond his abilities;
3. Riding beyond his headlights;
4. Was predisposed to hooligan riding.
But your right the fact us the officer is guilty. You know you can go to a court house in Newmarket, sit down with a JP and swear out a information charging the officer with ANY appropriate CRIMINAL charge. Of course the JP will ask to review YOUR investigation and the proof you have to support the charge. Be my guess. J am sure the officer and his lawyer would be more than happy to challenge the charge in court.
I am amazed with your obvious investigative skills it took you this long to "discover" i am a former police officer. Well a lesser person could have simply read the entire thread as this information was posted more Rh once in THIS thread back in June.
You have told another member that regardless what anyone says your convinced of the officers guilt. Well good for you, I am not trying to win a fight as I am am not fighting, besides I have one thing in my favor that you don't. The FACTS as published by the experts, not the rantings of an internet CSI.
