Hi I am new to this so sorry if I am not in the correct topic or format. I received a speeding tick in Ignace Ontario in October 2011, I chose to challenge is and was given a trial date of Feb 29, 2012. On Feb 28 due to my employment. I was unable to attend and spoke to two court clerks and the prosecutor to advise of my absence and asked if there was any way to either remand the date or just opt to pay the fine. They all indicated in quotes I say "we are in the 11th hour and unable to change or accept payment" I asked what me options are and are going to be they said they are unsure but a trial will continue and the fine of the ticket will stand along with a court imposed fine will be added. I asked how I will find out and go about paying this they said to call back tomorrow (feb 29, 2012) and the amount will be available. I did do that the court clerk said that because the trial has just ended at it was being held in Ignace and the paper work must go back to Dryden that the final documents would be type up and entered and a notice will the final amount will be mailed to me. No notice came. I received a due notice on May the 2nd (date of issue April 27) and a suspended license notice on May the 3rd (issued on April the 30th). I spoke back to the court in Dryden and they claim no clerical error has been done and that both the tick and suspension will stand. Furious I contact Attorney Generals office and they claim the only way to deal with the is with the origibal court in Dryden. The Attorney General agrees the timelines involved certainly are not in any way adequate notice for one to take responsibility in paying the amount. And a suspension notice issued 3 days after a notice is somewhat very extreem. I feel like I am dealing with an extemist in Dryden. What can I do and can I pursue legal action against the POA and or the court clerk or clerk manager personally for this. I have documentation and phone record indicating 4 seperate calls to the court house on Feb 28 and 29, 2012. So the discussions did indead take place. All I want is my license re-instated and the suspension retracted like in never happened.

Sounds like the court is actually caught up with all paperwork and running very efficiently, no back log like some courts in the south.

Re: Notice of fine due sent and license suspended 3 days lat
Best thing to do (and I'm not clear from your post), is pay the ticket and reinstatement fee first. At least that deals with problem #1. You can file to get it re-opened after that. At least, at that point, you are not suspended. You might want to consider talking to a paralegal or traffic lawyer about what your options are.

Failure to submit permit? What's required in car re: permit?
Hi. My wife was pulled over tonight for merging into a carpool lane to turn right 65 meters before the turn, rather than 45 meters. They had 16 cars pulled over (she took a picture with her cell phone camera), 5 cruisers. Not much you can do about that one I guess, just a bummer. That, however, is not why I am here.
The officer also wrote her a ticket for failing to submit her permit (which I…
Using a blue and red strobe light and a siren on multilane highways
Here are my thoughts.
I want to begin by hoping this post will not be deleted and tossed away before people (or authorities) can read it.
I had a post a few days ago (on the "using the siren") but somehow it got nixed and tossed away.
I just bought some nice strobe lights blue and red that sit at the base of my windshield inside the car.
Also, I bought a siren with 7 tones, mostly police type of…

Urgent - Illegal Stop & Arrest On Private Property
I've searched for hours looking for a similar situation to mine on a number of forums, and I couldn't come up with anything close. I know I need to file for disclosure tomorrow (my court date is October 7th), and plan to do so regardless of what else I end up doing, but I could really use some help with this one.
I was arrested on private property after being watched and stalked for over two hours…
Just received my disclosure in the mail.
Hey everyone. Back last summer I got a parking ticket for being within 3m of a fire hydrant. Funny thing is, I parked (in my estimation) at least far enough away from it, deliberately. There were no markings on the pavement but I can't believe I was within 10 feet of that thing (sorry I suck at metric.)
It's only $20 but I was ticked off 'cause I don't park in front of fire hydrants and don't…
Disobey Sign & Insurance Card
Hi,
Looking for some guidance here. This was the first time I have been stopped by the police and ticketed etc. so not too familiar with the process.
I was exiting a parking lot in the east end at Jackman Avenue and Hurndale just north of the Danforth near Chester subway station. It is a weird intersection where Jackman is a 2 way street from Danforth to Hurndale and then becomes one way southbound…
Is it worth contacting ticket officer?
I got a speeding ticket today while I was at a stand still.
I had to stop as there was an elderly gentleman walking accross the left lane I was in. I could clearly see the speed trap up the hill as well as the en-mass brake lights from the vehicles ahead. I then accelerated up the hill and watched the speedometer. I never went above 60KM/H, speed limit is 50 I know but I'm trying to be honest.…

So today on my way to work I was headed down a road called "airport road" located in Hamilton /mount hope.

123km/h in a 70km/h
Just got this last night on my way to guelph.
Crested a hill, officer coming at me, pulled a u turn and pulled me over.
I will go back and look again but I thought I was in an 80 not a 70 and I am positive I wasn't doing more than 120. My speedo read 110-115. I have aftermarket tires and rims so I assume this would be the difference.
It was around 7pm, already dark, nobody on the road but myself,…
DWI on suspended license
Ok so my brother in law was caught the other day after he drove into a ditch for driving while having a suspended license. His license was suspended due to a seizure he suffered months ago. So not only was his license suspended but he was found to have a BAC of 3x the legal limit. He is scheduled to appear in court on January 17 2017. I have done research and I can find info about driving…
License Plate cover - OPP / Police in General
So I was driving a friend on crutches to Buxton, ON this past Thursday from Brampton. We we're cruising while catching up. So about 10 km before our exit an OPP and unmarked car come tearing down the off ramp. I glance down on the speedometer although I know I wasn't speeding so we continued chatting. There was a pick up truck behind me and a transport truck in the right lane. So my friend…
Pedestrian Disobey Red Light
Hello,
On Friday I was received a ticket for jaywalking. I was downtown (Toronto) at King and Yonge and started walking as my light turned green, but didn't notice that it was an advance green and I didn't have a walk signal until I was halfway through the intersection (pretty sure the advance had been added recently due to the king street congestion pilot). Unluckily for me there was a police…

Reference is made in the HTA to Stop Signs at Railway Crossings (passive crossings):

How do they prove you were the driver?
Just wondering how the prosection goes about proving who was the driver at trial. If I tell the officer I was driving the black car is that sufficient proof or is that hearsay or does it have to be discussed in court. Just curious.
section 136 (1)(a) Disobey Stop sign
I commited the offence of Disobeying to stop on a stop sign this morning. The officer says I slowed down but did not completely stop at the sign. This was at a 3-way stop in a school zone.
The weather is bad and there was freezing rain warning in the morning. The roads were not entirely slippery, but I was wondering if I can have a case here.
I could not stop due to the weather and slippery…
Handheld Device Ticket?
I know it was stupid of me, I've just been very stressed recently with my wife going through Post Partum and being off the deep end. She's refused help for months, and now that she finally talked to a doctor about it, shes at risk and I really am going nuts over it. Anyways I called her to check up on her, I know I shouldn't but the thought of her not being on the other end scares the *EDIT* out…
Lidar test before & after means?
As I understood, general opinion on this forum radar(as well lidar) should be tested twice-before and after. but I'm confused
1/ Is it enough before and after shift, or police officer must to do it before/after EACH catch.
2/ When PO make notes in ticket ? In time off issuing? How possible he wrote time of test 7.00 AND 19.00, if he stopped me in daytime?
Could somebody clarify?
once i got my appeal date --what happens at court?

Question about accuracy of Aerial Surveillance in Court
Hey Guys,
As a result of a recent ticket I got over the weekend, I've been reading up on Vascar / Aerial Surveillance and have been quite surprised as to the accuracy at the results by this measurement method. There seems to be a lot of room for error seeing as how the start / stop is human triggered .
From what I've heard, the OPP evaluates the time to travel a 500 m distance, from which a…
