I had a parking ticket put on my car after 10 pm on the 25th. The time and date on the ticket say 6:30 pm- 8:59 pm on the 24th (2 hr parking limit between 8 am and 9 pm). Well not only was I not parked there on the 24th during that time but I wasn't there the 25th during that time either. (or any other day for at least the last two months) I can prove it with phone records and witnesses(24th) and shopping receipts from 30 km away on the 25th. So now I have to miss work to fight a ticket that some cop put there fraudulently probably figuring no one will bother with the hassles to fight a $20.00 ticket. Is there anything I can do to get them to pay my lost wages to fight this and can I press charges for fraud or do anything about this cop? ***the VIN, year, make, model and licence plate are all correct so it is for my car.

If you have clear evidence showing you (and more importantly your vehicle) werent at the location on the date/time in question, it should be relatively easy to beat the charge. It may even be worth taking with the prosecutor ahead to time to see if theyll simply withdraw the charge. I find it very unlikely someone would have deliberately risked their career and incarceration to lay a bogus parking ticket. Its also very unlikely it was a police officer that issued you the ticket. Parking ticket are typically handed out by bylaw officers or security on private property. Probably much more likely that someone goofed up inputting the info on the ticket. Is it a printed ticket or hand written?

It was a fill in the blank ticket. The officer has to simply fill in dates, times and circle the charge. There is a signature (illegible) and an officer i.d number. The car was parked on the street so would not be considered private property I don't think. I could understand a mistake on the time or the date but both? And I haven't parked there during those hours in months. I don't know if it was a bylaw officer, but that would not surprise me as there have been many "shady" incidents involving our township in the past. I'm not going to court to fight it as I will lose a day of work, plus have to pay for gas and parking at the courthouse 40 km away. I plan to go to the police station and talk to them about it, then file a complaint if nothing is done. The way our system is set up, there is nothing I can do. Sadly, I'm just one more person that has lost respect for and confidence in our system and the people in it.

I got a speeding ticket on the 401 by Cornwall. The officer said I was going 140 initially then dropped it to 130 (for the record I don't believe for a second I was going 140, that's way faster than I would ever intentionally drive). I filled out the info on the back of the notice to request a…
I was recently charged with stunt driving on a 60kmh road. When I was pulled over, the officer told me I was going almost 100kmh (still 40kmh above the limit) but was charging me for stunt driving because I accelerated quickly from an intersection on an empty road (in a straight line). I know…

Are any non-domestic vehicles "pursuit-rated" in North America? Also have the Michigan State Police (this is relevant because apparently they have the most accepted selection/testing process) tested any of them to see if they meet their criteria? Just curious...
Ottawa, Canada (AHN) - Beginning Tuesday, or April Fool's Day 2008, fines on Quebec drivers caught overspeeding will be doubled. It is not only the money penalty that will go up, but also demerit points.
The new law, Bill 42, is similar to Ontario's street racing rule. It stipulates fines for…
A friend got a ticket Jan. 9th of this year for doing 110 kph in a 90 kph zone, so 20 over.
What should the set fine and total payable read?
It's confusing to me, as the prescribed fine under HTA s.128 is different than the set fine enumerated by the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice.
An OPP officer ticketed me claiming I was going 40km/h over the limit (140km/km) on my way home with a few friends on the 401. This is my first ever speeding offense. Although I am sure I was over the limit, I am almost certain that I was not going 40 over, more realistically closer to 30 over. The…
Yesterday night I was charged for stunt driving (excess over 50km/h) and I have a few inquiries. I'm sure you've all heard the same story, but the unmarked cop in an SUV was tailing me for a good 2-3 minutes as I was travelling 120~135 km/h. Then as he came close I decided to boot it up…
I had a speeding ticket in May 2013 which brought me to 9 demerit points out of 15. I received a letter and had to attend an interview. Due to a history of speeding tickets and a previous interview a few years prior, the interviewer decided to put me on zero tolerance for a year. Meaning if I…
