Hi all, Here's my story. The road was 80, and changed to 50 without me realizing. Cop pulls me over, says I was going 77 but will reduce it to 65 and the charge is 52.50, which seems very little even for 15 over. This happened on June 27th, 2010 I filed for a court date and its Feb 2nd, 2011. I requested for disclosure on August 26th 2010 using their form, and recieved it on Dec 29th 2010. Inside, the notes only say "77km/h E/B main 2 door honda civic black" The next few pages are my driving history, and the witness which has the officer's full name and phone# --thats it-- I then used the template from ticketcombat.ca to request for radar/make/model/manual, and history of it being tested and sent it again on Dec 30th, 2010 They mailed me telling me I have to complete the form again, and they do not mail out disclosure requests and it is only faxed or picked up. This was recieved on Jan 14th. What would your next steps be? Any tips would be appreciated.

2nd request sent ... probably won't get back to me before my trial which in about a week's time Can the JP find me incompetent for not following instructions because the prosecutors office has indicated they do not mail disclosure requests?

Can the JP find me incompetent for not following instructions because the prosecutors office has indicated they do not mail disclosure requests?
No, that is not at issue. Simply tell the JP that you requested parts of the manual and that you believe it will help you make a full defense. If you recieve the disclosure just before the trial ask for more time before you go forth. And point out to the JP that your original request was never fulfilled and that this delay is a result of the prosocutor, not you.

Court day is tomorrow, and I just got my 2nd request via mail. They did not provide the unit serial number / test logs. It was a handheld radar gun that was used and apperently has it's own test feature according to the manual. Can I quiz the officer how he tested the unit, and quote the manual if provided completely different testing method? The model is Radar Genesis VP Directional It seems i have a good chance of winning hoping this officer doesn't remember anything at all and he has really bad notes ...

I got a speeding ticket on the 401 by Cornwall. The officer said I was going 140 initially then dropped it to 130 (for the record I don't believe for a second I was going 140, that's way faster than I would ever intentionally drive). I filled out the info on the back of the notice to request a…
I was recently charged with stunt driving on a 60kmh road. When I was pulled over, the officer told me I was going almost 100kmh (still 40kmh above the limit) but was charging me for stunt driving because I accelerated quickly from an intersection on an empty road (in a straight line). I know…

Are any non-domestic vehicles "pursuit-rated" in North America? Also have the Michigan State Police (this is relevant because apparently they have the most accepted selection/testing process) tested any of them to see if they meet their criteria? Just curious...
Ottawa, Canada (AHN) - Beginning Tuesday, or April Fool's Day 2008, fines on Quebec drivers caught overspeeding will be doubled. It is not only the money penalty that will go up, but also demerit points.
The new law, Bill 42, is similar to Ontario's street racing rule. It stipulates fines for…
A friend got a ticket Jan. 9th of this year for doing 110 kph in a 90 kph zone, so 20 over.
What should the set fine and total payable read?
It's confusing to me, as the prescribed fine under HTA s.128 is different than the set fine enumerated by the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice.
An OPP officer ticketed me claiming I was going 40km/h over the limit (140km/km) on my way home with a few friends on the 401. This is my first ever speeding offense. Although I am sure I was over the limit, I am almost certain that I was not going 40 over, more realistically closer to 30 over. The…
Yesterday night I was charged for stunt driving (excess over 50km/h) and I have a few inquiries. I'm sure you've all heard the same story, but the unmarked cop in an SUV was tailing me for a good 2-3 minutes as I was travelling 120~135 km/h. Then as he came close I decided to boot it up…
I had a speeding ticket in May 2013 which brought me to 9 demerit points out of 15. I received a letter and had to attend an interview. Due to a history of speeding tickets and a previous interview a few years prior, the interviewer decided to put me on zero tolerance for a year. Meaning if I…
