thus he also gave me a ticket for…
Hello all
(simon or anyone else can feel free to answer)
I requested disclosure of a radar manual in original disclosure request. Didn't get disclosure until trial date, so an adjournment was granted. At that time the Provincial Prosecutor stated that it wasn't his policy to release the manual to…

Hey folks. New forumer here.
Just curious to hear a few opinions on the following video taken at a photo enforced intersection.
As you can see, the light was still yellow for a fraction of a second as the camera-car entered the intersection (crossed the stop line), but it was close.
I drive a Honda Civic and we all know how those are when it comes to theft. On my driveway my brothers car was stolen twice and once broken in to. Also a few other cars have been stolen on my street. I have an alarm and all that. But say my alarm was going off and I ran outside and fought off the…
Hello all, yesterday I received a ticket for parking in a handicapped spot outside of school. I was done classes and had to load up my van with some very heavy and awkward items for transport. I had been parked in the garage across the street for the duration of my classes and decided to bring…
Sometimes I find plain simple English not quite so simple:

Hi, recently I was driving home around 2:30pm from the bus stop I drive to in order to bus to school. I was traveling down Kennedy just past 19th seatbelt on, doing the speed limit. About one and a half kilometers past the intersection of Kennedy and 19th a fox sprinted across the road. I swerved…
Failure to Obey a sign
Gentleman and Ladies,
I need your assistance. This morning I rec'd a ticket for making a right hand turn during an unallowed time. The officer mistransposed both my license plate number (off by 1 digit) and the expiry date (he wrote '10 instead of '09). Does this void the ticket?
I appreciate all responses
Re: Failure to Obey a sign
Short answer: No. There has to be a very serious error on the ticket for it to be voided. All of the mistakes can be fixed/amended unless they're something like missing offence date, missing defendant name, missing offence, or something like that.
There are other ways to fight this, however. What city did the offence occur in and was the sign something that said indicated no turn "7AM-9AM MON-FRI"?
Re: Failure to Obey a sign
Fatal errors are those that would make it impossible for you to mount a proper defense (such as wrong statute listed), or are SO bad as to suggest the officers lack of judgment or observations would put his credibility in question.
The two you mentioned are minor and would be amended by any JP at trial.
Re: Failure to Obey a sign
Thank you for your quick response.
What other ways are there to fight the ticket?
Yes, the sign said Mon - Fri No Right between 7-9am. I received the ticket at 845
Thanks in advance
Re: Failure to Obey a sign
oh and it was Toronto.
Re: Failure to Obey a sign
Your ticket is toast.
Basically the sign has to be in French and English and in Toronto it isn't. That means the sign is invalid. But unless you know that, you will be ticketed and convicted.
So request a trial, request disclosure and prepare for trial. Here's the seminal case that started it all: http://www.yourbestdefence.com/illegal_ ... _case.html
It's a little hard to understand. A full explanation is on my site (Step 5 -->Bilingual Defence). Sorry, I'm not allowed to link to my own site but the site link is on my signature below.

You can't link to your site... but I can.
