Hi, Hoping you guys can assist me with an upcoming appeal date (April 15th). The short story is that I got a speeding ticket in December 2015. I was doing 84KM/H in a 50KM/H. The cop said he will give me a reduced fine of 15km/h over. He wrote the ticket and we both went our ways. When I reached home, I realized that, probably due to bad maths, he wrote "75km/h in a 50 km/h zone". When really according to his words, he should have written "65km/h in a 50km/h zone". However, despite writing "75km/h" he still gave me the fine for being 15km/h over, which was $37.5 set fine and $52.5 total payable. Since these were the wrong fines, I decided to do nothing, i didnt appeal nor pay, hoping to get the ticket quashed based on London vs young. Unfortunatelty, I was convicted in absence. I appealed and have my appeal date in the next 2 days. Also, when I filed the appeal, the clerk gave me copies of all the relevant documents, and in that I noticed that she had a copy of my ticket, however in this version someone had striked out "75km/h" and wrote 65 beside it (note, my copy of the ticket DOES NOT have this handwritten correction) question: 1) Other than case law transcipt, do I need to take anything to the appeal court ? 2) does this altered copy of a ticket, helps my case in anyway or not ? thanks in advance..

question:
1) Other than case law transcipt, do I need to take anything to the appeal court ?
2) does this altered copy of a ticket, helps my case in anyway or not ?
The officer can't change the ticket after serving it on you. He would have to actually cancel the first one he gave you and then issue a new one. So this all works in your favour as well. Maybe somebody else on the forum can offer specific case law or regulations, but basically just show up with the original ticket you got and say that the set fine and total payable were incorrect based on the ticket the officer gave you, which was for 75 in a 50 and not 65 in a 50.

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…
