I have a picture of my SUV on Facebook. My wife took the picture and will testify in court to this. The rear windows are tinted and I want to introduce this fact into court. What do I need to do and what procedures must I use to make sure the prosecutor does not have it removed. Also I have a neighbour willing to testify that the tinted windows were present since purchase. However my court case six hours from home, can I have my neighbour use an affidavit to say the rear windows are tinted?

How do I enter photographic evidence from FaceBook?

Re: How do I enter photographic evidence from FaceBook?
Do you have some more information regarding your ticket? It's quite unusual that someone would want to prove their windows are tinted. Did you receive a ticket for the rear windows or all windows? Tint laws apply to the windshield and the front driver and passenger windows. They do not apply to any backseat or rear window. It's not a legal defense that you purchased the car with tint already applied. That is if we're talking about the front windows.

Re: How do I enter photographic evidence from FaceBook?
Thank you for your reply. Sorry for not getting back sooner, my internet has been down for almost two weeks. Anyway, I was charged with handheld device 78.1(1). My wife was holding the phone and I was talking. The officer was in the passing lane and claims "I was holding the phone". However the back windows are tinted and the SUV was fully loaded, so his view was obstructed. I want to show that it was a mistake on his part.

Hello everyone,
I was randomly pulled over a few weeks ago on a Saturday night. I was driving friends home after a night out, I did have a few drinks, but I stopped knowing that I will be driving. I guess the time wasn't enough because the breathalyzer gave an "Alert". Anyway I was given a 3 day suspension. I was not charged/or convicted. He simply said that after 3 days I have to go to the…

From disclosure, the officers notes state the serial number of the radar unit and that it was a Genesis II Directional.
Also in disclosure were two pages of the radar manual (Field Tests section) and across the top of these pages it says Genesis II Directional (Rev 02/05). So the test pages match the model given in officers notes.

Ticket for incorrect address on plates
I was pulled over for speeding, but my record is clean so I didn't get a ticket. However, I did get a ticket for having the my old address on my plates. The officer told me to go to court for it, and he would drop the charges. What do I say when I am in court if he doesn't remember saying that or doesn't appear?

Golf carts
I can't find the category for this post so I'm posting it here.
Two questions...
1. Are golf carts considered a 'vehicle' under the Highway traffic act? I know carts can't drive across roads or on roads but if you try to bring one from the USA into Canada they are considered a 'vehicle'.
2. If you are on private property are you allowed to carry 'opened' alcohol in your golf cart? I know golf…

Disclosure questions
Hello people,
Some questions:
1. What should be a reasonable time for the prosecutor to provide disclosure from the first faxed request (2 reminders were sent as well)?
Is 8 months reasonable? If not, is there anything one can do about it?
2. The disclosure contained a copy of the ticket (offence notice), the cop's notes and the accident report.
What is the legal standing of the accident report?
