PAAM Traffic Safety Training Program Webinar: 

Automotive Event Data Recorders for Prosecutors and Law Enforcement

Friday, June 10, 2022  

12:00 P.M. - 1:30 P.M. EST  

This 90-minute webinar will be presented by a nationally recognized police trainer and expert witness in event data recorders (EDRs).  Learning objectives include understanding how the amount and usefulness of the data has increased over time, and a summary of the current status.  Case studies will be presented that highlight how police obtain the data, how it is analyzed, and how it is presented in reports and at trial.  Strategies for getting the data admitted and increasing its weight in the minds of the jurors will be discussed.

Presented by Rick Ruth.  Rick spent over 30 years with the Ford Motor Company and retired 12 years ago as the company’s internal EDR and airbag expert.  He teaches law enforcement on EDRs all around the country and is passionate about helping create good case law on EDR admissibility in court.
