Section 62
Disposition versions
62. The statement of offence or any offence report, in the form prescribed by regulation, has the same value and effect as evidence given under oath by the peace officer or the person entrusted with the enforcement of any Act who issued the statement or drew up the report, if he attests on the statement or report that he personally ascertained the facts stated therein.
The same applies to a copy of the statement or report certified by a person authorized to do so by the prosecutor.
Any document attached by the peace officer or the person entrusted with the enforcement of an Act to the offence report that he drew up shall be admissible in evidence to the extent that the document could, in compliance with the applicable rules of evidence, be filed in support of his testimony if the testimony were given before the court.
