Defendant was convicted following bench trial in the Napoleon Municipal Court of operating an overweight vehicle on local streets, in violation of city ordinance. Defendant appealed.
The Court of Appeals held that police officer’s testimony, based on his “training and experience,” as to weight of defendant’s truck was insufficient to establish that defendant’s truck was of gross weight of 10,000 pounds or more, without additional foundation as to what training and experience the officer had that would give him such expert knowledge.
