Banning policies

I hope that it's 30 days from registration and not just any 30-day period.

Hello Bear, Alexo....did not take that offensive or upsetting. It was not meant to be. I see your view. There are reasons behind what you mention and not what you might think. Then please educate me. Also have to admit there are bad apples in every job thou. True. However, the barrel is judged by th...

Re: GPS

Just bought my 1st GPS. Pretty decent little outfit. Have used it on a couple of short trips and got me to the destintation properly. Hello Bear, I hope your GPS does not include an MP3 player, a JPEG viewer, a calculator or a bluetooth module, otherwise bill 118 forbids its use in Ontario. 78. (1)...

Hello Bear, There is a rant coming. I will try to keep it short and civil but make no mistake, I feel very strongly about it. This kind of stuff should never ever happen. Unfortunately employees like this are in every profession and taint/discredit/disgrace peoples thoughts on the remainder of the e...

Hello Bear, About 3/4 way down is the officers signature and DATE to the right is the supervisor signature and DATE. How does this compare to the date of the collision at the top? The Officer's signature and date is 6 months after the "accident date" The supervisor's signature & date a...

The interesting part is that the "Traffic Collision Report" I got on the spot (with the ticket) has quite a number of differences from the copy I got in the disclosure. That one was dated 6 months after the fact.. The roadside copy is just basic info to share amongst drivers, the submitte...

Hi Bookm, thank you for the reply. Sure the Court COULD allow the ticket to be amended, but you would want to object to this. You have prepared your case based on the information shown on the charging document. Your court date is now and you are prepared to proceed. It is not your fault the crown is...

However, I was charged with violating 142(1) and not 148. I believe that the best strategy would be to contest it on that grounds. What do you guys, think? I do not think that they can amend it during the trial as that would be a completely different charge. Or could they? Yes the court can amend i...

Re: Disclosure questions

A few issues here. By HTA police have to submit the Collision Report within 10 days. Our internal policy is 7 days. The collision report I got in the disclosure was dated 6 months after the fact. My understanding of the filing procedure is incomplete but it seems to me that what needs to be filed i...

Re: Disclosure questions

First, thanks for the positive feedback on my site. You deserve it. As I don't know the details, I can speculate that you asked for disclosure, they did nothing for eight months and then just before the trial, somebody gave you a couple of photocopies. If they did not give you enough time prior to ...

More or less. Cop's notes say I "cut the corner". Interesting since he arrived an hour after the fact.. Does not really matter how long after that the police arrive. Once arriving the officer will begin by talking to drivers, looking at physical evidence etc and try to determine what hepp...

Thanks for your reply hwybear. I would be guess that HTA 148 applies to the description provided. Passing meeting vehicles - vehicle on highway meeting another shall turn out to the right from centre of roadway, allowing the other vehicle one-half of the roadway That sounds about right. However, I w...

Did I? I'm sorry, English is not my native language and I am even less familiar with legal terms.

When I said "collision" I meant an accident.
There was no injury but there was damage to the vehicles.

This is really a great example to request disclosure including a request for an explanation and clarification of the charge. Let them do the work. They must bring home to the accused what he did wrong. You are asking "what did I do?" and "How are you going to prove it?" Unfortun...
