Hi, Officer pulled me over and gave me three tickets at the same scene - fail to stop at red light, missing driver's license and permit. Am I allowed to go with Option 3 for the red light one while I pick Option 2 for the rest two document related tickets? Or, should it be only one option, either early resolution meeting or trial? I read many articles that the prosecutors usually drop document related tickets at the early resolution meeting. If I bring all three at the court, I'm afraid I'd lose my chance to defend and eventually win the first ticket, red light stop. I'd really appreciate your advise and/or experience of going with different options. Thank you!!

You'll have to deal with them as a group, whichever option you choose. Likely the deal offered will be plea to the red light and the other two will be dropped. Or you take your chance at a trial for all three. The two document offences are very easy to prove at a trial though.

Thank you, Decatur Does that mean people are not allowed to pick different options for the tickets they get simultaneously? Or, you said so because I would get a higher chance to get the two documents related tickets dropped if I go with the same options altogether? The strategy I came up with is - Go with option 2 for the doc related tickets, show the license and permit to a prosecutor at an early resolution meeting and hopefully get them just dropped - Go with option 3 for the fail to stop at red and defend myself at a trial I strongly disagree that it was a red light and I failed to stop. It was 70km/h zone and the light turned to amber right before I entered in to the intersection, i.e. couldn't stop safely but drove through. The officer was in the opposite lane, not right at the intersection but there're two cars before hers. It was on top of the hill where the traffic light is, so I highly doubt she was in an accurate position where she can determine the position of a car compared to the stop line. She u-turned to catch me but another interesting point is that there was enough distance/space for her to pull me over before the next traffic light but she just followed me all the way to the next traffic light and then turned on her siren to pull me over. Once my trial date is set, I'm going to ask for a disclosure and check what she wrote about the situation. I still wonder whether it's better to pick two different options. What a sigh...

There is no incentive for the Crown to withdraw the first two charges if you plan on going to trial on the third, hence they all get dealt with together. You'll either work out a plea deal on all three or go to trial on all three. Unfortunately unlike the red light ticket, there's not much to fight the ownership/licence tickets on. Even though you might disagree with the red light ticket, it might be in your best interest to work out a plea deal on all three charges. Remember that ANY conviction counts against you with insurance, so you don't want to risk having two convictions on your record (no licence/ownership) to take a gamble on the third (red light). If you're offered any deal where they agree to drop two of the tickets in exchange for a guilty plea on the third, it might be wise to take it. If it was the red light ticket on it's own then I'd say take your chances at trial.

Thank you, Stanton Yes, that's why I'd like to take Option 2 for the first two doc-related tickets and hope them dropped at a meeting with a prosecutor. Then, I'd only have the red light ticket at a trial. Big assumption with this strategy is that a prosecutor doesn't know I got three tickets altogether but all the info s/he can access is the doc related tickets. If this assumption is wrong, then I definitely need to change my strategy. What I can think of is to have an early resolution meeting and check if what kind of deal offered and then go on a trial. Or, just go with a trial option. I was driving my Leaf and on my way to a charging station to charge the battery. The documents were in my wallet and I left my wallet in my husband's car because after plugging my Leaf, I needed a ride back home. My husband was ahead of me and he arrived the charging station without knowing me having gotten pulled over by a police. Waited a bit, came back and he found what's happening. Documents were presented but the police said it's too late. Of course they can argue that I have to keep the documents with me while driving. Do you folks think there's any chance all tickets get quashed given the situation? Would ex-cop type service be a best approach? I never used one in my life. I know it's quite a long journey but am pretty concerned already :?

The whole idea of them dropping maybe one of the the lesser charges is so there's no trial. If you're going to go to trial anyways, what's the point? They might as well just get a conviction on all three as there's going to be a trial anyways. They are going to use the the charges against each other to see if you'll accept a reduced conviction. The section that you were charged under will mention how these things need to be surrendered upon request. The officer is under no obligation to wait while you search for it, whether it's hidden somewhere in the car or someone is on their way to deliver it.

Thanks, bend. So, does that mean a prosecutor would be well aware of the fact that I got three tickets even if I applied Option 2 for the doc-related tickets only?

Prosecutors know all the charges you are facing and have your entire driver's abstract. That's how they file things---all charges from one set of facts for a defendant are placed in the same envelope/folder. It keeps everything tidy and all correspondence and filings are kept together. Its also easier to schedule officers for court. So, you have virtually no likelihood of passing one over on them by thinking you'll be able to 'partially' deal. As all others have already told you, they will deal with your charges in the aggregate. So, if you are going to trial on the red light offence, they won't give you any deal on the others. All charges will simply proceed to trial, unless you opt to pay one or more beforehand. There is absolutely no incentive to give you any deal if you'll be wasting court time anyway---they might as well proceed on all charges. Your strategy is guaranteed to backfire---all offences result from the same incident so they absolutely will know about them all. As I've said, they are all stored in one trial envelope/file. But even if that were not the case, the officer's notes will also reference all the charges so they'd know that way anyway. Bottom line: either deal with them all or get ready to go to trial on all.

Thank you, highwaystar Does anyone know whether all tickets would be quashed at a trial IF a police doesn't show up? Or, is that decision solely up to a judge, i.e. what to drop what to be still charged even in the absence of the police?

In the absence of the officer the prosecutor will often simply withdraw the charges, since his main witness isn't there to testify. However, in some cases they will try to get an adjournment and reschedule for another date.

Thanks, daggx From all the advice so far, I think I'll go with Option 2 for the documents tickets, see what prosecutor would say/offer. If the offer sounds reasonable, then I pay whatever lesser fine and go to a trial for the red light ticket. Worst case, I'll just bring all three to a trial. Can I still go to a trial if early resolution meeting outcome is unsatisfactory, can't I? On the back of the ticket, it says "Option 2 - ... by choosing this option you do not forego the right to a trial".

It appears as if you're not understanding. You don't just go to the meeting with the document tickets and the red light set for trial. If you do the prosecutor will not offer you anything and go to trial on all 3 of which you will undoubtedly be found guilty of at least two. You need to have a meeting on all three tickets and hope the prosecutor offers to drop the 2 document offences if you pay the red light one. The other option is just to go to trial on all three with the same outcome as above.

Former Ontario Police Officer. Advice will become less relevant as the time goes by !
If you want to resolve this with the prosecutor, you can ask to have the red light charge dropped down to: HTA 144 (10) : Obeying lane lights (10) Every driver shall obey every traffic control signal that applies to the lane that he or she is in. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 144 (10) http://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90h08#BK221 It carries a set fine of $85.00 and no demerit points. http://www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/how-do- ... hedule-43/ The prosecutor will very likely drop the document related charges at this time.
If you want to resolve this with the prosecutor, you can ask to have the red light charge dropped down to:
HTA 144 (10) : Obeying lane lights
(10) Every driver shall obey every traffic control signal that applies to the lane that he or she is in. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 144 (10)
This is good advice. In some cases, the Prosecutor will insist on getting a guilty plea on the red light offence in exchange for dropping the other two, however in my experience most of them will do as suggested here.

Thank you, ancientlyre I guess this would be a best scenario other than all three getting dropped. Do you know whether I'm allowed to ask for such a drop at an early resolution meeting? I mean, people are allowed to be proactive and suggest possible resolution? Or, is it prosecutor's discretion solely?

Hi, I am new to the forum. I have been trying to get information off of here and www.ticketcombat.com for my case.
I was given a ticket for going 122km/h in a posted 100km/h zone at Hwy 401 east at Thickson Rd in Whitby ON on April 10th, 2009.
I find this absolutely absurd, since I was in the left most lane of the 401 approximately(within 5km/h) following the speed of traffic in my lane. The guy in…
Hey this is my first ticket so as much information that people can provide will be appreciated. I was making the drive home going around 90kph(in a 80) behind what I knew was an undercover police car. The cop abruptly pulled to the side and pulled back in behind me to pull me over. Now I reduced my speed to below 80 when the cop pulled to the side but he claimed he had me clocked at 109kph and…
On Wednesday I attended court at 1530 Markham Road, courtroom E2, in order to fight my speeding ticket. My original plan was to plead not guilty, and to watch all the people who went before me, the process, the Prosecutor and the Justice Of The Peace so I could strategize and form the best plan for my defence at trial. I had done some research online and sort of knew I wanted to defend myself,…
About 5 months ago I was driving along a two-way road approaching an intersection. The road had a left/ straight turning lane and a right turning lane. There was an 18 wheel gravel truck occupying the left lane at a red light. I pulled behind the truck intending to drive straight. After not moving for about 1 second, I check my rear view mirror, signaled and changed lanes to the right…
I am currently working for an auto parts delivery company and they contracted me to work as a courier.
As I left my base to make my first delivery which was less than 300 meters away from the shop, I had my seat belt off because i was under the impression, according to Section 106 Exception #6 subsection (c) of the highway traffic act, that I would be exempted from the seat belt law. The rule…
Got a ticket yesterday for "Insecure Load" contrary to HTA Sec 111(2). $160. I was pulling a utility trailer in which I had loaded a steel and wood cabinet. Total length of cabinet is 57.5". 14.75" (1/4 of the cabinet) was sticking out over the side of the trailer at about a 45 degree angle, the rest (3/4) was inside the trailer. The trailer has sides 24" high. I didn't have a tie-down or bungee…
I've been researching for months for defence strategy and basic trial information regarding my speeding ticket. However, the information is so conflicting that I have no confidence whatsoever that I know what I'm doing.
I didn't get this info from a friend of a friend, it came from this website, court officials, case laws, and a consultation with a traffic ticket fighting company.
So I was driving east bound pulling an empty tandem trailer on a gravel highway. Eventually I caught up to a truck pulling a fifth wheel. The speed limit was 70km/h and I don't quite remember but I'm almost 100% that the guy in front of me was driving at 60km/h. After being behind him for a few kilometers and getting two cracks in my windshield from rocks off his tires, I decided to pass him. I…
I have been driving for over 10 years without any tickets and accidents what so ever. Unfortunately my luck ran out this past Friday; when the officer pulled me over doing 80 in a 50 zone in Mississauga, Ontario. Officer was very friendly and polite not to mention nice enough to reduce the charge to 15KM.
On the speeding ticket it now says doing 65km in a 50 zone. Never having a speeding…
hi everyone im just wondering if its right for a cop to have my car impounded and give me a traffic ticket for improper plates when my car didnt leave my property, yes i knew the plates werent to my car but on private property it dont matter aslong as it dosent go onto public property. am i right with this that i shouldnt have gotten the ticket or my car impounded?????????????

Went to court having not received disclosure (and was not organized enough to apply for a stay), so the trial was adjourned. They photocopied the officer's ticket and notes and provided a log sheet from the plane. I've sent another request for the rest of the disclosure items.

Hi guys, I got pulled over last night and was ticketed with HTA 172, I was going 157 on a 100 on 400N and was wondering what I should do. I was using cruise control but the guy in the lane to my left was driving into my lane irresponsibly to I sped up to get ahead of him and just my luck that's when an OPP cruiser pulled up behind me flashing his lights. My court date is at the end of the month…
If anyone can answer this I would greatly appreciate it.
Friday morning I checked my mail and received a letter from the MTO stating that under section 47(1) of the HTA the Registrar of Motor Vehicles has decided to suspend my driving privilege for medical reasons. This was due to a report submitted by a physician in compliance with section 203 of the HTA. Enclosed with that letter were forms to…
Ok so looking for some advice in regards to my wife's speeding ticket 120k in 100 (I was in vehicle so witnessed most - but was resting at initial clock.)
whats the likelihood of positive outcome of an 11b (or an officer no show, which I suspect doesn't really happen as much as web/Ads would have you believe) of 8months.
Wife REALLY doesn't want to go, and of course I'm the one doing all of the…
I know I shouldn't have driving but I slept at my buddies' place and I thought I was ok to drive in the morning.. needless to say I still drove and got pulled over.
Background details:
I was pulled over in the morning last week, apparently going 120 km/hr on 90km Northbound DVP. Two cop cars tailed me for a bit, saw them in my rearview mirror while on the left lane, slowed down to…
I got two tickets on Feb 20 2011. One for red light, and the other for Stop sign. I knew I had a good chance at getting off on the red light, because the officer couldn't actually see the light facing me. He was at an opposite angle, further up the street.
I set a court date for both tickets. On April 22 I moved to a new place. I went to the Service Ontario location and renewed my licence…
Winnipeg's police officers have been told to issue more traffic tickets, in part to increase revenue.
And a union representing cops says the move could hurt their efforts to curb the city's gang violence.
Police Chief Keith McCaskill said last night he -- and he alone, without input from Mayor Sam Katz -- recently made the call to patrolling officers and to those in specialized units to step up…
I'm wondering if anyone could enlighten me on what to do about the following scenario:
I was pulled over by a YRP constable because I only had one front head light working. Upon being pulled over, I also realized my insurance card was expired by one month and my car permit was not on me at all. (It doesn't matter now but my valid insurance card was sitting at home in an envelope…
I have a wicked prosecutor in my area, he is an evil man and will lie and cheat, whatever is necessary for him to win. I got a yellow light infraction ticket and the cop was a no show. I requested the charge dismissed and it went like this:
Me: I request the charge be dismissed because the officer is not here
Prosecutor: No, we are going to adjourn the trial so the officer can attend
Accident happened at a regular intersection with turning lanes and lights. I was turning left. The light turned yellow, and the car approaching sped up to make the light. I thought he was stopping, so i made the turn. At the time of the collision the light was red.
I understand that it is my fault. I'm just wondering what my best course of action is.
