The situation: I was booked for speeding on March 25, 2013, no reduced charge on my ticket. The police officer ("John") used a radar and flagged two cars simultaneously (can they accurately measure the speed of two vehicles traveling almost side by side?). Unfortunately I did not record the license plate and make of another vehicle (could come in handy?). John's notes don't seem to mention any of this. While John was issuing a ticket to the first driver, I patiently waited in my car. Out of nowhere, an unmarked vehicle pulled in and a second officer stepped out of it. The second officer approached John and after a quick chat the second officer proceeded to operate the radar while John was issuing a ticket to the first driver. Eventually John approached me and handed me a ticket as well. I requested trial few days later. Notice of trial was issued on May 31, 2013. Filed for disclosure on June 14, 2013. Disclosure became available early October and I picked it up today on October 7, 2013 and the trial date is at the end of the month. I couldn't upload a PDF here so I uploaded to a drop box link below, please note I changed some names for confidentiality purposes: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yiehp8j4kx2qv0s/disc.pdf What doesn't make sense to me: Laser # on second page of the narrative doesn't match the # in the Laser Intercept Log... As you can see, somebody crossed out the original # and made a correction. Also, the operator's name in the Laser Intercept Log is not the same as the name of the author of the narrative / name of the officer issuing a ticket (i.e. John). Looking for some advice/suggestions :)

I was at my parents' house in Mississauga early this week, and my mother told me about this SUV which always parks down the street for four to six hours a day, headlights on and the occupants inside. When she takes her afternoon walk, she will usually see a man and a woman inside smoking or…
Last week, around 9:30 at the Britannia water purification plant (Ottawa), undercover cops put on their lights. I was outside of my mom's vehicle (van) about to go for a simple #1 in the bushes (even had a bunch of tissues in my hands) when one officer asked me what I was doing (my bf was also…
We are living in the age of digital video. HD 720p and 1080p CRYSTAL CLEAR Video. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million.
I had video evidence for a case but it was not accepted. I apparently did not submit it properly/ at the right time. Despite this I had my ticket…
According to current regulations, no electric car can be driven in Ontario (and anywhere else in Canada except BC). Do you find it somewhat ridiculous that, despite all the fanfare about the environmentally friendliness talk, and high gas prices moans, we cannot use the most…
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
I might be moving from Manitoba to the Ottawa area.
My question is, I drive a 4x4 truck and my summer tires stick out beyond the fenders about 1.5-2inches. Is that illegal in Ontario? If so will installing fender flares take care of the problem? Also the truck has True dual exhaust (2 pipes from…
Okay so while at school today i parked on a residential street in Hamilton Ontario. the person in front of me did not pull up very far so i was forced to park fairly close to the driveway of the house i was in front of. I got out to make sure they had plenty of room to drive out if they wanted to,…
Just wondering if I can get some help on what to do for this ticket. I have a court date on August 17th. I simply cannot afford this. I haven't had an offence in years, and pay attention to my speeds now. One night when I was too focused on the road and not the speedometer, I get pulled…
I got pulled over for doing 147 in a posted 90 zone on hwy 17 heading east towards Ottawa where I live. My car was impounded for 7 days and the officer took my licence. I'll probably go with one of those traffic ticket places. I don't feel like driving to North Bay 4 or 5 times.
