At what point do I argue financial hardship?
Who would lower my fine the most? The JP , or the prosecutor? I seriously can't afford more than $50 to $75.
Also, would I be speaking about my medical issues infront of an entire courtroom? or in private?
Thanks.
Good for reduced fine as well.
Explain your hardship and ask for a time/frame that you can meet.
I.E: $33.00 per month till paid.
You must follow then plan though or you will be in trouble.

You'll need option 2 or option 3. Most of the JPs at the courthouse on Markham Road will lower the fine if you give them a good reason to do so. Good luck with it.
Actually my Red Light Camera Notice says : "Option 1 - Trial option - I want to enter a plea of not guilty and to have a trial. You or your rep may meet with a prosecutor in advance of trial."
"Option 2 - Plea of guilty - Submissions as to penalty. I want to appear before a Justice to enter a plea of guilty and make submissions as to penalty."
"Option 3 - Pay full amount out of court."
It looks like I'm going to have to go to trial. I went to the Markham court today at 1:30 PM and the person at the booth said I had to be there before 1PM in order to choose option 2. This is why I chose option 1. I guess I'll have to meet with the prosecutor when the time comes. They told me 3 to 6 months.

But, talk to the Prosecutor and see how it goes. Good luck with it.
