Opinion
March 7, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Doyle, J.).
Ordered that the order is reversed, on the law, with costs, the petition is granted, and the subpoena is quashed.
The respondent's purported need for the subpoenaed radar equipment is for demonstrative purposes. The burden of compelling the county to produce the radar equipment far outweighs any asserted value that material could have to the respondent in the cross-examination of the police officer who charged the respondent with the traffic infraction (see, Matter of Constantine v. Solomon, 194 A.D.2d 538).
Furthermore, based on the papers submitted herein, the respondent's demand for training materials is no more than an attempt to circumvent the limits imposed upon proper discovery (see, Matter of Constantine v. Solomon, supra). Sullivan, J.P., Joy, Friedmann and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
