Hello everyone. I am new to the forum. Please excuse, and kindly correct any errors in etiquette. I received a "Fail to Come to a Complete Stop" at stop sign in East York, Toronto. The officer issued me a ticket that required me to appear at Markham Road and Sheppard, the Scarborough Court. Is there any precedence to get the venue changed due to the location of the infraction? I would prefer to attend at Old City Hall, which is where I would be called to if the issuing officer was not out of the Scarborough division. I have appeared and requested a trial, as well as got a Evidence Disclosure form (video/audio/notes), which I will submit when I get a trial date, but I am hoping to have the trial in the jurisdiction of the offence. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Your offence occurred in Toronto, and your trial is happening in Toronto, so your trial is happening in a court in the jurisdiction of the offence. If the officer is from any of the following divisions in Toronto your courthouse IS 1530 Markham Rd.; 32, 33, 41, 42, 43, 53, 54, PDS, and ETF. There might be one more but I think that covers it. If the ticket was issued outside one of these divisions the justice at 1530 Markham Rd. will still hear the case.

Hey guys, wanted to know if anyone has had a similar situation, and if you have any advice:
I was travelling E/B on Dundas St and had a green light to turn S/B on Spadina Ave. There's a no right on red sign, I observed it. I initiated my maneuver, slowly pulling my car into position to make the…
Around one month ago I was travelling on the highway on my way to a job. I was in the right hand lane, checked my mirror and signalled, and moved into the passing lane when there was an opening. The fellow in front of me must have felt I was too close to him and applied his brakes and waved his…
I got a ticket, Disobey stop sign, sec 136.1.a on dec 6th
I made a left in an intersection and was pulled over by a police officer in an unmarked car who had been sitting down the road. A classic fishing hole situation. I was genuinely surprised when he stopped me and told me I went through a stop…

I accidentally took a right turn not realizing there was a school bus stopped to the left of a 4 way stop (which I did stop at) letting kids off the bus. I didn't realize the school bus was stopped until i looked through my rear view mirror and saw there blockade sticking out. I didn't even notice…
Long story short. Got a speeding ticket last July 07 and asked for disclosure. It never came. Went to court In january and explained this but I had no proof. So an adjournment was granted to May 30 to obtain disclosure. Received a notice in the mail that officer will be on vacation that week.…
I received a speeding ticket* about an hour ago, but only now realized the unusual situation and don't know if the below is usable in court.
The road I was driving on was a 40 km/h hour 4-lane road (speeding ticket shows 57), and I was on the right lane, the police officer was hiding behind a…
I recently imported a trailer from Michigan. I couldn't find if it was acceptable to tow it (un-plated) if I had just bought them.
Before travelling I called the local licensing office to see if I could get a temporay plate for the trailer since I read that it is illegal to tow an un-licensed…
The infraction was during a right turn, onto a major road. This was a T-intersection with two right turn lanes. My vehicle was in the right most lane, and in the lane to my left a Police Officer was making a right turn also.
500m ahead, the officer pulled me over (in a city). It seemed like a long…
