Hi Everyone, Here is my quick story: Got a cell phone ticket January 23rd, 2012. That afternoon, I chose to file the tix for trial. Did not receive my court date till January 11th 2013 ( almost a year since I filed). After 2 disclosure requests were not given to me, the day of my trail, I told the prosecutor that I did not receive my request. I was accused of lying. During a recess, the prosecutor did found my request in the computer and gave it to me while it was mine turn to stand in front of the judge. He said now that he has given me my documents, he is prepared to go to trail. The judge asked me what I wanted to do and I asked for an adjournment, and the judge smiled and said I suspected you would and it was adjourned till Feb 20th. In the meantime, I did all the paper work to file an 11b. When I had everything ready to go, I went down to the court house, with my affidavit and my booklets to get stamped. Fast forward to Feb 20th. I meet with the prosecutor before the trail and asked me what I want to do. My paper work is sitting on his desk and acts like he didnt know I what my intentions were. I told him I am asking for a stay of proceedings. He acted like he did not have any info about my case and told me to sit down. Anyway, during my turn in front of the judge, again the prosecutor did not mention the stay of proceedings. I had to interrupt the judge when I was asked if I pled guilty or not to tell him my intentions. He was not pleased. He told me it was a minor offense and I was wasting the courts time with trivial things like this. When I tried to intervene, he told me that in R. v. Morin there we not set time as to the length an 11b would qualify. My stay was denied, I pleaded guilty to a lessor fine and left the court with my tail between my legs. So my question is can I appeal this decision. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you pleaded guilty what is it exactly that you want to appeal? The case was disposed of by way of a plea so that's the decision you would have to have over turned. A guilty plea can be revoked, but it is not easy to do. That's probably something that would be good to have a lawyer or paralegal for.

Sorry, i didn't word this correctly. Can i appeal the 11b decision? I was told that i had to plead guilty to the charge and then file an appeal for the 11b. Is this true and how can i find any info on how to do this? The Court is the Region of Halton, Burlington.

yes, you can appeal any decision, but the path is arduous, lots of paperwork and transcripts to order... I don't know the details though.

One of the paralegals on here might correct me but I think if something like this happens you are better off to plead not guilty, even if you don't have much of a case. I believe it is a lot more strait forward to appeal a conviction then it is to try and get a plea bargain over turned.

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…
