I was going eastbound on Essa road in the passing lane, while another vehicle, beside me, was driving in the first lane that was merging with my lane. OPP officer was stationary and I saw him turning his alley lights on while I passed him. He stopped both of us, I got the speeding ticket and officer stated that the vehicle that was traveling beside me will get something else. I think that the officer was actually stopping the other vehicular, but for some reason I stopped as well. I intent to question the radar theory, how, when where etc it was tested etc. But after I have read some of these postings, I forgot to get the disclosure. my court date is on Aug 4th So my question is: Is it possible to ask the crown to get a disclosure and ask JP for adjournment, sense it's too late to request it now, or I have to proceed and hope that Officer won't show. Obviously I have some questions prepared but....???? Maybe someone had a similar issue?

vision without action is a daydream...action without vision is a nightmare...
You just go to court on Aug 4, look around if the cop is there then ask JP for adjournment because you just find out about the disclosure thing. The JP most likely will grant it (but the delay will be deducted in the 11b motion if you are to have one in the future). If the cop is not there, opt for trial. On another note, the circumstance of your case is a bit fishy, the cop wanted to kill two birds with one stone, that is lay charges on 2 cars with one speed reading. You may want to question the cop what he charged the other driver with if the case goes to trial and the cop takes the witness stand.

Thanks for reply, it is a fishy case, that's why I think should get a disclosure, because I don't think that i\ll be able to remember the cops face :) Any other thoughts ?

If you don't know the cop face, you can use his ID# and ask others waiting around for the same cop ID#, they may be able to point him out for you. Or, if you hang around the prosecutor you will hear the cops also check in with the prosecutor using their ID#. Your disclosure may need to be specfic otherwise you get nothing about the other driver. That is to ask for disclosure of the officer's note on the other driver citing other driver being witness in your defence. This may be tough as it is usually denied citing privacy concern.

You can have someone going to court for you and ask for the delay, make sure he knows what he's doing. The trick of the trade is spelled out in www.ticketcombat.com, just read it.

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
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…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
