Hello all, To make a long story short, I recieved a ticket for failing to stop at a stop sign. I did stop but the police said I didn't. He told me that I was caught on his video camera. I handed the case to X-copper but unfortunate for me, they went into bankruptcy. Court has given me extended time to find representation but I listened to my friend's advice to just represent myself and "the cop likely won't show up" phrase, but after reading topics on this forum, I realized there is much to be done to represent myself and now I don't have enough time to file for disclosure as my trial is in 2 weeks... Any advice as to how to approach this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, ^_^

File for disclosure today or tomorrow. Request an adjounment once you get to your trial. You can explain the Xcopper deal and tell them the truth, you just found out you're entitled to disclosure and you want to exercise that right. You only need to stop at stop sign for 1/1000th of a second. You want to know where the op was located when he claims he saw you. The video is also important, if the cop is telling the truth about it. But since you know you stopped, the cop is lying to you.

Not IF the video shows otherwise, then the person is lying! The officer may have dedicated himself/herself to that particular intersection for the purpose of the stop sign enforcement. When some drivers become complacent with the same stop sign and "think" they have stopped".

I hear you, but I'm betting the cop is fibbing. Cops don't like me much, I carry a tape recorder in my car and when I'm stopped I covertly record them. There isn't any he said she said when he come to me. No, Mr. Copster, this is what you said to me and this is tone of voice you used when you said it. Problem is, I never get stopped anymore. I wonder why... 007, you suffered a lost of money from Xcopper, thus you've suffered enough and your case should be stayed. You will request a stay because it was the government who put Xcopper out of business. The same government who is now trying to convict you and screw you out of even more money.

Copy that....(pardon the pun) I treat every stop like I am recorded, not only audio, but video as well. Never has been a problem. Why risk getting a complaint? Simply not worth it.

Make sure you specifically request a copy of the video in your disclosure request. If they can't find it, you can argue that evidence exonerating you has been lost. If they do find it and it shows what he claims, then request an adjournment and work on fighting the ticket BEFORE the trial proceeds. See http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic504.html for some ideas what to do. The key here is an extensive and relevant disclosure request focusing on your ability to make a proper defence. Example: You are requesting an explanation and clarification of the charge (a right under 11a of the Charter). In R. v. Araujo, 2008 ONCJ 507 the Crown is establishing a factum for extreme speed as a strict liability offence . The Crown's thinking on what constitutes a strict and absolute liability offence is pertinent to your case. You want a copy of that factum! Remember one of the points of disclosure is to NOT get it. Let the Crown cause the delays, force the focus on them. The last thing you want to do for a stop sign offence is to get into a he said, you said situation about whether you stopped. You will always lose that game. Good luck and good fight!

First, I want to thank you all for all the great advice in dealing with this situation. The last time I went to court, I have already told them about the X copper situation, and that I needed an interpreter just in case, since I don't know much of the law terminology, I may need him/her to explain that to me, so, that is why I got an extension-I had a few month of extension by the way. So, now to get an adjounment, do I tell the JP that because I need the disclosure, that's why I'm entitled to that adjounment?...I'm afraid JP will ask me why I didn't ask for disclosure as soon as she has given me the next trial date...would me telling her that I just found out I'm entitled to disclosure would be a sufficient reason? and on that day if the cop don't show up am I free of this situation? (I'm sure he will be there though-9:00am...Cops are always up an early). Thanks ^_^

So, even though I have 2 weeks left, its not too late to request the disclosure? because I don't think they will have time to get the disclosure ready for me to pick up or for them to send to me...and on the date of my trial, the JP or proscecutor will say that I didn't give them sufficient time to prepare the disclosure and it was my fault that I didn't do it earlier...then what will I say??? Thanks! ^_^

Disclosure is part of the legal procedure. A court cannot deny you this right. You did the right thing and hired counsel. Not you're without counsel. Now, on top of everyday responsibilities you need to become a lawyer. That doesn't happen overnight. The delays are not prejudice to the Crowns case so it must be granted. You should argue that you're entitled to a stay because your lost more money paying Xcoppers then the ticket will even be. Doesn't mean you'll win the argument but if you don't make it you're surely not going to win it. If you're eventually convicted, you can also ask that the fine, if any, be waived, or drastically reduced because of the money you lost hiring Xcopper.

Don't worry about asking for the delay. The only bad thing is you are causing the delay so you cannot argue later that your case took too long to come to trial. But your right to disclosure is absolute and far more important. They know it and can't deny you. Just make sure that you get it in before the trial so you can say you already requested it once you found out what it was. And if they are really giving you trouble, and ONLY if they are about to deny you, then mention the video saying you believe it will exonerate you.

Wow, thank you all for the great advices,,,now I'm more positive about this procedure... A few questions, If i request for disclosure, wouldn't the cop know that I'm challenging him (which would upset him because i'm trying to discredit him) and he would definitly show up in court for that date? Also,I noticed on witness section of the ticket, it marked "no" does that mean he didn't have witness or I didn't have witness? because my mother was with me at the time, can she be my witness due to our relationship? Thanks

The cop knows you are challenging him because you requested a trial. He marked no witnesses because he is the only witness who saw you not stopping. Your mom can be a witness but she will not be a very reliable witness. She's your mom, of course she's going to say you stopped.

Don't worry about him knowing. This is all just part of his job and he won't take it personally. If this is your first time to court, it will likely feel somewhat overwhelming, but try to follow along and learn the process. I just might be surprised how supportive and helpful most JP's are when they recognize a "new guy" in their court. If you don't call your mother to the stand, it will be the officers word against yours and you will most likely lose. Family members may make weak witnesses, but she's all you've got!

A vast majority of our court is on working days, so we will be there. I know most officers do not care that people go to trial. I would not say try to discredit, b/c the officers testimony will be truthful. You are merely arguing and clarifying the events based on the officers version and your version, then the JP has to decide which story is the better of the two. Honestly, it is more frustrating knowing you gave someone a break (ie reduced a speed or could have laid other charge(s)) then they still decide to challenge the ticket. I used my discretion, was more than fair and saved this person "X" dollars and "X" points.

Hello, well, went to my trial date and the police was there, I know there was a very slim chance that he wouldn't show up...anyways, I indicated I did not recieve the disclosure that I requested since I only gave 2 weeks in advance of my trial date so the Judge gave me another date to appear in court to set up my trial date...so does that mean I have a month time to get my disclosures and analyze it and determine if I want to proceed to trial? and on that day, will I get to choose my own date for trial? The cop was mentioning that he had caught me on video again and he seem pretty sure of himself after reading his note pad...I mean, I did stop, just not for the 3 full seconds,,,So, what do you all think? what should I do? And what is this chartered motion people keep telling me about? Thanks ^_^

Hold on! You didn't mention the three second rule before. Make sure you get a copy of that video. Insist upon it. Typically new cops remember their Young Driver's of Canada training. They mistakenly write tickets to people who don't stop for 3 seconds. There is NO legal requirement to stop for 3 seconds. Stop is stop. Even if it is for 1 billionth of a second, it's a stop. You then proceed with caution. As long as you did that, the charge is toast!

The cop wrote down that you didn't "stop for the full 3 seconds" or words to that effect?! HA! If there's any indication that you came to a complete stop, you are not guilty. Should be a piece o'cake beating this one.

Oh, no, no,,,the cop didn't say anything like that, I just overheard a conversation in court someone saying that the stop had to be 3 seconds...sorry for the misunderstanding. The cop just said he caught me on video. So now I have followed TICKETCOMBAT's advice and used his form to request for disclosure and since I did it 2 weeks before my trial date, the judge gave me a date to attend to set a trial date??? I guess that is to review the disclosure the procecuter will give me. So, now the question is, if I don't get the disclosure in time, that is before that date,,,what do I do??? HELP!!! Thanks

Your next court date is to meet to schedule a trial date. Yeah I know. And people wonder why the courts are backlogged! If you don't receive disclosure you can raise the issue then: "Your worship, what's the point of scheduling a trial if I haven't received disclosure by now?"

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.

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.

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.
