:roll: I have a very serious problem and I dont know what to do anymore. Can ANYONE provide assistance and Great information as Im so confused I dont know what to do..As Im back in court next month for same ticket I got last year??!! I am, and always have been, a very conscientious and safe driver who really does obey all traffic and stop signs, and I have a very good driving record to prove it. Today, I just came back from court where I tried to fight my own "Failure to Stop & Disobey Stop Sign ticket. In April 2008, over 1 year ago now, I came into the city to go apartment housing hunting, as for health reasons, I needed affordable housing. I chose some buildings to look at when my name was placed on waiting lists in Toronto. While driving around the block in downtown area looking for the addresses of these buildings, and found the location addresses of these places I was marking off, I KNOW I stopped at a 4 way intersection with a 4 way stop sign, and as there wasnt cars around or anyone else, I proceeded slowly and continued my journey through the 4 way cross street, as it was safe to do because I was going to go back to see inside these buildings. I got to the next stop street at the lights, waited the 35 seconds for the light to turn green and made my right hand turn to go back around the block. About just less than 1/2km away, from the building I was looking at, ON a busy downtown street, after turning right, is when I see this unmarked police car turn right also as he was behind me, he travelled a short distance more and then turned on his flashers , so immediately I pulled over. The officer got out in the busy street blocking all the traffic, and told me I went thru the stop sign way way over on the other block. I know I didnt and told him. After showing my license & registration he gives me a ticket for $110.00 for disobeyed / failed to stop at a stop sign/ HTA., and tells me, I can take it to court to "save my demerit points" and leaves :cry: Well months and months later, Ive now moved to this City a few months ago, and Ive finally received my trial date shortly after I moved here, because it has been over 1 year since the "offense" happened. When I went to court today, I asked for judge for an adjournment, as I had no way to defend myself against the charge, due to Ive had no disclosure received yet, until today. The prosecuting lady said she didnt have any disclosure either, as the officer has it. So I need to get it from him. I tried to tell His Worship, The Judge, I had sent disclosure request to Old City Hall and showed them all, my copy, that I had sent in some 5 weeks ago, as due to health, I havent been well recently, and I was also looking after my Best Friend who was in a coma in hospital past 4 months as well. (Hes doing much better now, Thanks to God). WELL :twisted: … The Judge wasnt happy! And at first,out right refused me an adjournment of any sorts, until I told him I really should qualify for a stay in these proceedings. He outright refused me "a stay", saying, I didnt fill the right paperwork for a stay of trial, even though No disclosure ever given to me, and it has been over 1 year since the offense happened. Somehow I was able to stand there with a grief look on my face. And told judge, how do you expect me to defend myself against this charge when I dont know what charge was about? After Lady Prosecutor says, "This IS a very very serious offense, so the judge begrudgingly, allowed me my preliminary motion until next month, and added you might have time to get your 11B completed the right way in the meantime. But also said it can take 6-12 weeks for one to be approved and couldnt offer me where to get this 11B from? (Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom, section B11. ) :?: For the disclosure, I myself had to run after the officer and get the copy of his notes, which only consisted of a copy of my ticket; he gave me for the offense last year in 2008, that had his chicken scribble and some abbreviations on it. With "10km…" on it, meaning without a radar gun, he saw me "slow down to 10km and continue through raised cross walk & through stop sign. Thats it! On my disclosure request I did ask for everything, including; full copy of all officers notes both sides, but he showed me other side was blank, typed version of any hand written notes, statements made by defendant or witnesses, etc. I asked for it all and got this photo copy of my ticket. :x Officer says, Ill need to submit yet another disclosure request, as he doesnt have what I want available. But he does say And of course what hell "testify" to, that he says, he himself watched me, no obstructions, and no blinking, slow to 10km at a stop sign, of a non busy intersection, and watched me travel over an unmarked, but raised sidewalk. :oops: So Far, Ive seen who the judge will side with. And now, Im sure it wont be me. Then officer went on to say, If he has to give me Disclosure Request.. Where are all MY disclosures for him????And I didnt think he gets any?? :shock: This must be his way of seeing how I was planning to defend for my defense.. I do not understand how officer can say what he did, as I know I DID stop, because I was apartment hunting while in Toronto, and where he claims I didnt stop, was at one of the buildings I was looking for and found, as I have proof on my documents I have from geared to income homes. I also dont understand, why officer still followed me nearly ¾ of the way onto a downtown busy street, only to then stop me in bustling and busy traffic, while he could have stopped me when he was sitting behind me at the lights after I supposedly ran that stop sign, when that other street wasnt busy at all.??!! :evil: Now I have to go back to court to see this judge again next month to defend myself, and he cant even tell me, nor ANYONE at court house can, where to get this 11B form that I so much need to be completed as my Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom are being ignored. :? Besides, I really dont think after what I saw today, Judge would allow any request for a stay of proceedings, no matter if my Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms have been infringed or not. I sure didnt get any "speedy "trial, having to wait 14 months for my first trial, and now an extra month ½ for a second trial to defend myself?!??!! Today, While running around up and down 4 floors repeatedly, at The Old Court House, looking for this 11B form, I realized there were quite a few other people officer he had ticketed, that he was there to help prosecute, as I guess he sure likes giving out Failure to stop at a stop sign tickets. It Must be an easy cash grab for the city because its so hard to defend yourself against. I sure dont think the Tourism board would be happy about this officer, because to me, he doesnt resemble the good part of "Toronto the Good".. :roll: Ive been to that site ticket-blasters, to prepare myself the past 2 months for fighting this bogus ticket charge, but after what I saw today… the judge and officer seem to do whatever they feel like doing. Carche Blank. As If it wasnt for me standing there in the court looking like a lost sheep, I dont think Id have even received the original preliminary motion I was begging for to defend myself. I wonder what ever happened to real honest justice?? I guess because I stutter and get confused when under pressure, like speaking in front of a 1/2 full court room, they think I dont have a brain in my head so Ill believe whatever they tell me Im suppose to have done. When I DO know different.. I stopped at that stop sign last year!!!!!!! :x . Can anyone provide any advice, help or suggestions on what next I can do?? As I am so sure of my innocence with every fiber of my body, I came to a complete stop at that intersection last year. Ive never been in a hurry to go anywhere too fast. But Im not financially stable to give away $110.00 AND 3 demerit points. As Now, in the court, there wouldnt be any offer on the table from the courts to accept a plea, But I do feel I need to stand up for my rights!! Especially since I know I was right to begin with!!?? Its all one big Cash Grab for the city and insurance companies at the expense of hard working people. Does Anyone have some great ideas or suggestions for when I have to return back to court next month?? Signed…. Screwed by guys in blue

I've always lived by the rules of Nature. Its the other ones you need to Be Aware of..
When did you make your first disclosure request? The Crown is under no obligation to make any disclosure until it is first requested by the defendant. If it was at the five-week mark prior to the trial date (which is the impression I got), that might not be sufficient time for the Crown to put it together and the JP may not grant a stay or quash it due to improper disclosure, even if you had good reasons for not submitting it earlier. If you're willing to go this route, a sure-fire way of keeping this away from your insurance company and reducing the fine is attempting to plea-bargain to a municipal by-law infraction. You can call them and see what they are willing to offer. Some Prosecutors are quite willing to accept it; they get the conviction, city gets some money, they don't care about the rest. It will result in no insurance increase or demerit points, just a fine. If the plea-bargain is not something you want to do or they won't accept one, the best advice I can give is to submit another disclosure request indicating that you were not given what you had asked for, and ask for an explanation and clarification of the charge. The Crown must disclose a certified copy of the by-law that erected the STOP sign that you were alleged to have disobeyed. If they do not produce it, 15 days prior to your next trial file a motion for a stay based on improper disclosure. It may work, it may not; the time issue is the problem. As for a right to a speedy trial, one year might be sufficient to be considered unreasonable delay, but it may not. I can't say for sure. Generally, the real "gold mine" of information regarding dealing with traffic tickets and the courts is this website: www.ticketcombat.com Ticketcombat's website outlins exactly how to make the 11B application and many other things that you'll need to know.

Well Yes.. As Im not familuar with court stuff I didnt get disclosure request until begingin of April. :shock: However last week I took your suggestion Radar of "a sure-fire way of keeping this away from your insurance company and reducing the fine is attempting to plea-bargain to a municipal by-law infraction. You can call them and see what they are willing to offer. Some Prosecutors are quite willing to accept it" .. and to date nobody had replied back to me as Ive emailed and tried to get a phone number.. I even called number at back of ticket and lines are always busy to speak with anybody.. and emailed them 2times this week.. :cry: So Im waiting as maybe someone will call or write me next week now it being saturday.. but sent a email to POA ciurts again friday .. or else I just have to go to trial as I had a lawyer friend (not involved in criminal law) get some CCRT B11 to kind of copy and get ideas what to do.. but he's not really allowed to help me much. :roll: But thanks for your suggestion Radar.. Guess I'll just have to wait to see if they'll reply anyone reply back to me .. :(

Nobody from the Prosecutors Office ever did return my calls or emails.. So.. I decided to take this all the way and fight it in court. I did my research and was going to use the stand point from where the bus was blocking the stop sign, nobody would have seen the stop sign if a bus was sitting at the bus stop which was 1 1/2 ft away from stop sign..and I had alot of photo's to prove my case. I even did everything including filing a B11 Motion as trial date was 13 months from ticket date.. and then when everything was inplace to finally have my day in court to prove my innocence, and vindicte myself 100%, my B11 motion was accepted because my trail date happened to be the first day of the city strike in June 09 and the court accepted most every B11 filed that day to get things moving quicker without city workers there.. So I owe the city strikers a -- Thanks..?? LoL!! However; Im Happy I won, and thanks to a favotite Ticket combat site that proved indispensible to me, I'm ready to fight the next ticket, my mother just got for going thru a no stright thruway between 7 am & 9am, because the morning sun was in her eyes and the 78 year old lady didnt see the sign with the sun in that location as impairing her vision to see the sign at 730am... however I find the French Language service Act will be helpful in this case. Especially after 1 trial date was set and the Proscecutor still hasnt provided me full & complete disclosure of what her ticketig officer states happened, and Ive already had to set another trial date with my 3rd request for complete disclosure.. getting reday to file another B11 for my Mom's cas as I see I'll have a 4th disclosure request to send soon anyway.. Thanks all for your help!

I got ticket for failing to stop at stop sign in Toronto. i heard that the police officer must see the stop line, if there is one, from where he was sitting. That is exactly my case, Is it a strong case? If so do i need a picture to show that there is a stop line and a picture to show that he could not see the stop line from where he was sitting?
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 sign without even slowing down. I know to shut up and be polite and take the ticket. I…
Yesterday morning, I rear-ended someone. I was going the speed limit. The sun was directly in front of me and it blinded my windshield and my eyes. At the same time, the person in front of me stopped/slowed down (also due to the sun). I started to slow down but didn't stop and I hit them since I couldn't see anything. I was not driving too close initially. I…
I was driving in the county at night and hit a limousine stretched out side ways across the road. The limo had its lights on and had side lighting as well. The police officer charged me with careless driving because it was "fully lit up".
It took me to the next day to figure out what had happened - what I remember made no sense. What I had run across was a "false visual reference" illusion.
I was on hwy 37 trying to make my girlfriends ganadmas mass and I live an hour away and I had an hour to get there so I was going fast but not 50 over untill some idiot got on my tail soo close that I was to concentrated on him that I kept going faster untill I got pulled over at 147 on an 80 km hwy.
I alreaddy lost 3 points and this time was just the…
Hello, got stopped today for rolling a stop sign. Ticket says failure to stop, but quotes hta 1361b.
Doesn't 1361b mean failure to yield?
Is this a fatal error? Or could it be amended at trial. How can I prepare a defence if I don't know if I'm defending the failure to stop or the failure to yield?
After he was providing me with a ticket for failure to obey to the stop sign (I am pretty sure I stopped but less than 3 seconds recommended by my driver ed. instructor), I know everybody say that..as an excuse.
Then he stopped me again to return the documents.
Any advice and feed back would be really appreciated.
Can you get evidence for whether someone had an advanced green at an intersection? My dad was making a right turn on a red (after stopping) into a plaza parking lot. He got hit by someone making a left turn from the opposite lane. The driver told the officer called to the collision that he had an advance green. My dad said he came out of nowhere which makes me…
So i was driving on Eglinton Avenue East near Rosemount Ave.
The school bus was on the the curb on the opposite side of the road while i was travelling on the middle lane of the three-laned Eglinton Avenue East (five lanes apart plus a raised median island seperating the traffic)
I could not see the school bus as my view of the bus was being obstructed by the cars in front of me and on my left hand…
Lots of good information on getting disclosure from the Crown here.
Now, I am just wondering if I will be relying upon evidence of my own at trial... do I have to voluntarily send this material to the Crown in a reasonable time before the trial, or only if they request disclosure from me?
This morning I had an exam for university. I was studying the entire night and i wanted to catch like maybe 1-2 hours of sleep before the exam so i went to sleep. I woke up like 5 hrs after and realize that I was about to miss my exam. I still could have made it so I asked my dad for his car since I was in a huge rush and he gave it to me.
I went on the highway and I was going at 135 km/h but…

Hi I have a couple questions so I'll explain my situation and any advice would be appreciated.
Can't remember exact date so lets call it some time in 2008 I got a fine for $5000.00 for driving without in insurance. I never paid the fine and in 2012 I was pulled over and the officer asked to see my license. Although I had it on me I figured it would be under suspension for the unpaid fine from…
Alright, so I did something really stupid the other day, I was driving down a country road and wanted to hit the curves so I passed 3 cars at once, inadvertently making it up to very much past 50 over (80 limit)... Much to my chagrin there was a cop coming in the opposite direction who immediately skidded on the gravel shoulder and who I thought was 100% going to turn around and pull me over,…
Anyone know how backed this courthouse is? I submitted my ticket for trial at the end of August, and still no letter. Im scared it got lost in the mail, can i call the courthouse and find out my courtdate? Or would i have to go in personally?
I recently received a ticket for failure to use low beams - while following - Ticket was issued Sec 168 (
- it was on the 401 and no one was within 500 meters of me, I was warning a oncoming vehicle that there was an officer hiding (which is not illegal or I could not find a law against it) it was a police vehicle travelling at very high rate of speed in the opposite direction with no lights on…
I received a warning letter from MTO for a 2pts ticket.What happened is that the police officer issued a "unsafe left turn" and then changed the ticket to "failed to signal" at the scene, but she submitted both tickets!!! And I !!!ONLY!!! received the latter ticket from her(I requested trial for "failed to signal"). I recently received notice from MTO that I'm convicted for "unsafe left turn".
Hello everyone! I was given a ticket for using a hand-held communication device while driving. It was 3 am, I was at a stop light and the cop saw me with the my phone in my hand. I told him i was just checking the time on it. I received the notes a few weeks ago ill copy them down below. Any help is appreciated although i believe there's no hope for me. The cop recorded me saying what phone i…
I got pulled over about 15 or so days ago the court till this date has not received the summons what is the legal time period that the court has to follow to accept the summons from the office court says its 15 days is the legal timeframe the officer has to serve it on the court
I requested for disclosure of information two months ago.
I received the radar manual after one month, but not others (including maintenance/calibration record of the radar, certificate of police training). On further pursuit, the prosecutor told me that he did not have them and he did not see why I needed these documents. He said he did not know where to get them when I asked.
Last Friday I was pulled over by an OPP motorcycle cop who informed me I was going 134. I was on the SB 404, I did see him parked under a bridge and when I passed him he was not on his bike.
I'm hoping to get some insight for a defense in this case.
I was in lane 1 and I had a car in front of me, and a car behind me, also there was a car speeding down Lane 3 passing everyone and moved quickly into…
I have a very serious problem and I dont know what to do anymore. Can ANYONE provide assistance and Great information as Im so confused I dont know what to do..As Im back in court next month for same ticket I got last year??!!
… The Judge wasnt happy! And at first,out right refused me an adjournment of any sorts, until I told him I really should qualify for a stay in these proceedings. He outright refused me "a stay", saying, I didnt fill the right paperwork for a stay of trial, even though No disclosure ever given to me, and it has been over 1 year since the offense happened. Somehow I was able to stand there with a grief look on my face. And told judge, how do you expect me to defend myself against this charge when I dont know what charge was about? After Lady Prosecutor says, "This IS a very very serious offense, so the judge begrudgingly, allowed me my preliminary motion until next month, and added you might have time to get your 11B completed the right way in the meantime. But also said it can take 6-12 weeks for one to be approved and couldnt offer me where to get this 11B from? (Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom, section B11. ) 
This must be his way of seeing how I was planning to defend for my defense..
