We've had some history with the police in my town..

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…
OOps! The police officer forgot to return my documents...
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.
Do I have a case where I could win?

Court is in the area that it happened.
Re: OOps! The police officer forgot to return my documents...
What were you charged with again? Were you charged with "Fail to stop at a stop sign" or "Disobey signs"? Look at the subsection you were charged under, ie 182 (2), and look it up in our "Demerit Points System Table"
Use "Ctrl+F" (inline search function on most browsers) to save time.
Thanks for the reply feel good to find a little bit support
What were you charged with again? Were you charged with "Fail to stop at a stop sign" or "Disobey signs"?
It was "Fail to stop at a stop sign" - 3 points. No, I wasn't charged the second time they stopped me - they stopped me to return all my documents they took in the first stop.
Re: OOps! The police officer forgot to return my documents...
There is always a chance that you win the ticket. If you have a just cause, your chances are higher. If you know what to do, they are higher still.
You can always start by checking the ticket for obvious errors. Some errors are fatal, some not. Then you can send in the ticket with "Option 3 - trial" checked off ("Officer present" too). After that, once you receive a court date, you can file for disclosure (evidence against you). Make sure to visit www.ticketcombat.ca for a no-nonsense detailed approach on how to fight tickets, and about the whole process. Read up more cases here, especially in your category, and use search for other keywords you might have.
Between now and court there will be a delay of a few months. Once you receive the disclosure, make sure to post back here with your court date. There is a chance of stay application if court date is too far off.
Delay of a few months ?
Sorry but I am familiar with that info from Ticket combat, the post was regarding the fact he forget to return my documents. For a while I was driving without the documents... if another cop was going to stop me without documents it could result in another charge. Anyway it was a mistake that was causing a lot of stress since I thought he found something else wrong.
Can I use his mistake to underline that he goofed again? I thought his actions has to be perfect from writing the ticket until he'll let you go.
Please help.
Stop Sign Ticket,
Not returning your documents has nothing to do with whether the ticket is valid or not. Call the officer and get your documents back.
