Last October I missed a stop sign, and next week is my court date. However, the road on which the stop sigh is erected is bending, and there are trees very close to the sign, so there is no way it is visible from 60 meters as prescribed by reg 615. I took pictures the next day, and I think I have enough evidence to show that it does not comply with reg 615. The problem is that I have not received any disclosure yet. I delivered my disclosure request at the beginning of December, got a copy date stamped. Again at the beginning of this month I delivered my second request to the prosecutor's office (Mississauga), got it date stamped, and I was told that they did not receive any response from the cop yet. My research of the issue indicates that without a disclosure they cannot prosecute. Am I correct? Question 1: What's the best thing to do if the disclosure does not come by the court date? Question 2: If it comes and I defend myself, can I print reg 615 from the internet and use it in court? Thanks for any advice, Marco
