Hello everyone, I got a ticket for failing to stop before entering intersection in Calgary. It was around 1:30 am. Police car was not so close. I did stop but not sure if it came to stop completely. The cop wasn't sure as well I think because he pulled me over not after the intersection but he was behind me at signal and when I switched my indicator for parking he pulled me over. He came to me and said I pulled you over because you missed the stop sign and I have camera recording. I told him I stopped but I thought he might give warning as he was very polite so I told him I stopped but I if you say I am sorry . Then he asked for my licence and registration. Now 1. How can I ask for the video he has ? 2 . Can he prove that I didn't come to full stop if my brakes lights were on as he was not very close and line nothing visible? Any guidance would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

This forum deals with the Ontario Highway Traffic Act. Alberta has the Traffic Safety Act, I believe. Traffic rules vary province to province. That being said, I think we can handle most of your questions because they're not going to be all that different. It's completely normal for an officer to not immediately pull you over. An officer, knowing they are about to initiate a stop, will likely run your plates first to make sure there's no surprises that might put them at risk (eg. stolen car). If you want to see the evidence against you, you'll have to request a trial. From there, you'll make what's called a disclosure request. You'll just fill out a form and give it to the prosecutor. If you need help with this, just ask the courthouse and they should be able to give you the information. If the courthouse is closed due to covid, the info is also usually online. They'll compile the evidence and provide it to you. This may take weeks/months. At the bare minimum, this should include a set of the officers notes.

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.

I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.
Last night, at 7pm, I was at an intersection waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so that I could turn left. I thought that I was waiting at the intersection behind only one other vehicle (a van)…
So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
Late Saturday afternoon, December 1st, I entered the Shops at Don Mills with my vehicle and drove due East as I needed to make a quick deposit in the TD Bank. I made a left hand turn onto the side street and on the right side where I parked, there is a condo under construction with all the usual…
Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
