In that case the police officer has already successfully carried out his duties in obtaining a speed before the obstruction attempt was even made.


And no, I don't have a jammer or even a detector in my car.

What is the definition of “obstruction”?
The definition of "obstruction" that has generally been applied by the court occurs when a person makes it more difficult for the police to carry out their duties. It is generally not an defence to argue that the police were eventually able to carry out their duties despite the attempt to obstruct them from doing so.
