I could got to court and the judge would!?!?!?
Judge is actually a JP (Justice of the Peace) who can not lower the ticket or demerit points. Having said that, you could always speak with the Prosecutor and see if you can have it reduced. If the prosecutor and you agree on a resolution, that will be brought before the JP. Just remember points are issued by MTO, nothing to do with courts.

1) If I fight the ticket and lose, do I get charged court costs or anything additional?
Yes, court charges are added onto the fine. Inquire with the court involved to see how much the court costs are.

2) On the ticket there is only one officer's name at the top (I'm assumeing last name) Do both officers names need to be on the ticket? and will both officers need to come to court?
Only the issuing officer's name would be on the offence notice. If in fact it was an "intercept program" both officers will be required for court. Sometimes the witness box (used for civilian witnesses) will be checked off in this scenario with the 2nd officers badge # , but this is not mandatory to do. _________________ The above noted material is NOT legal advice, it is an opinion only!
