Questão jurídica principal
Whether the speed-reading device and GPS verification certificate could be relied upon despite the expired ordinary verification interval.
Decisão extraída
The certificate remained valid until 30 November 2009 because the competent metrology authority had extended the verification period for that type of instrument; the device was therefore reliable at the relevant time.
Fundamentação extraída
The lower court ignored Art. 6(3) OStrMV, which allows the METAS to extend or shorten verification intervals for specific types of instruments. The certificate in the file showed a four-year validity, indicating an authorized extension, and the applicable transitional and substantive rules did not preclude relying on it.
