We have a steady police presence of 5 - 10 officers in the town at any given time.
Long story short I exercised my right to not talk to the police (I watch them beat the *EDIT* outta my brother and a…
Just wondering what you guys think of those HOV lanes.
Sure these lanes are faster then usual but i think they present a ton of problems, now the first thing i want to clear up is often we say speed is dangerous. Okay i can believe that depending on the context and situation its used in. But i think…
I heard somewhere that flashing your lights (i.e. clicking your high beams on and off) to warm drivers in the opposite direction of a speed trap is a violation of the highway traffic act.
Is this true ?
I was watching motoring 200X and they spoke about this, and accorinding to them, it is NOT illegal…
Mid July 2012 I was hit at 6pm by a drunk driver. That's when my hubby decided to tell me that he didn't take care of the insurance as he was supposed to. So, I got charged with driving without insurance. Car is in my name.
Inuries were minor - all of us had aches/pains, hubby had seatbelt burn…

Just wondering what this incident means...........
My wife got caught not making a full stop - no contest.
However, also got a "ticket" for failure to surrender card - but she did but it was expired.
She found the good card after that mistake and gave it to the officer.
However she still got a "ticket"…
I got a speeding ticket doing 75 in a 50 zone. There where vehicles all around my vehicle doing about the same speed. The road was 2 lanes in one direction and 2 lanes in the other direction. There was a vehicle beside mine, another behind that vehicle and a vehicle behind me, all moving above the…
Hi all,
Unfortunately I got a "Disobey Sign" ticket tonight in this weather for turning left at a no left turn intersection (Greenwood turning left onto O'Connor) and my question is if it is possible to fight this ticket successfully due to a variety of reasons.
First of all, since visibility was…
When to bring up no disclosure?
I have a court date on Monday. I asked for disclosure a while back but did not get it. When should I bring this up? I assume if I tell this to the prosecutor when I arrive he/she could just get the office to give me the notes on the spot and go to trial right then. Would it be better to tell the prosecutor to go to trial and then say I didn't get my disclosure?
thanks.
Re: When to bring up no disclosure?
Have all of your documentation about disclosure ready. Tell the Prosecutor you filed for disclosure but did not receive it. If they present you with the notes or whatever, tell the JP that you only just received disclosure from the Prosecutor and are not ready to proceed to trial. Tell the JP that you made several timely, appropriate requests and they were not given. If your disclosure requests were in order, the delay to the next trial date should not be charged to you. Usually, though, the Prosecutor won't present the disclosure "up front" and instead will wait for the JP to order him/her to produce it. After that, you can look at your total delay (offence to the next trial date). If it is over 11 months, 4 days, you could look at an 11B application.
