First time I've gotten a speeding ticket. So I went in and proceeded with a disclosure request in Toronto. I was met by a fairly rude clerk. She said my sheet was imcomplete, and then proceeded to only copy down a small part of what was written onto the disclosure form. I insisted that she accept my letter as well, which she eventually did, stamped my copy and returned. Am I basically covered off, since she has a copy of my sheet as well? She also told me that I would have to come in to pick up my disclosure. I've read on a few sites that they should have to mail it if I insist. She said they don't because I have to sign for it. I asked if it couldbe sent via registered mail, as I would have to sign for it. She still insisted they do not. Is this the case in Toronto? She also said that they don't have to provide a copy of the ticket (Notice of Offence) and that I'd have to get my own copy by requesting one at Edward Street. Is this the case in Toronto? She then proceeded to talk to me as if I was guilty, that my request for evidence is futile, and that all that would happen in court is that the officer and crown would present their case and since they had evidence and I did not, that I would be convicted. I just nodded politely, but unfazed. So, is this generally how this sort of thing goes?

I've noticed that my name was slightly misspelled on the Notice of Trial (and due to the officer's penmanship, could look that way on the ticket). Does this matter?

Yeah, I wasn't really initiating conversation with her, she just sort of started commenting. But other than that, is that pretty much how everything should have gone down? The fact that she received (and stamped and returned a duplicate copy of) my request as prepared by modifying the template means I'm covered, correct? Also, when they call about picking up my disclosure, can I insist it be mailed via registered mail? Or was she correct in saying that Toronto doesn't mail them?

I don't know what their procedures are in Toronto with respect to making disclosure requests, but you have no right to demand disclosure be mailed once it's available. If they say it has to be picked up, that's the way it is.

FYI: Toronto says you have to pick up the disclosure. At least that's what I've done.

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
