Well, there you have it. Hate to say it, but if their testimony was by memory and not aided by the notes they wrote, I can see why they told you there is no way to prove fabrication or perjury. If that’s their memory and it differs from their notes which they didn’t refer to, and it does differ from your video, then it’s a question of bad memory recall and almost impossible to prove they willfully lied under oath. This bit of information changes many things about this.
With this in mind and not trying to diminish your frustration or allegation, have you considered that maybe it was just that and nothing more? What do their notes say compared to your dash cam video? How about their testimony versus their notes? It would be incredibly foolish to willingly and deliberately lie under oath when there is a written record of their observations made af the time. That’s something to also consider.
If those don’t match and their observations still the time don’t match video evidence, that’s where you have a case. But I think the court part will be done if they didn’t use notes and were testifying based on memory. Just my two bits on that. Would be interested to hear of the rcmp have a different take on it though.
