I had an officer pull me over for "running a red light", which was a rolling stop when making a right turn. Within the disclosure statement the officer had stated he observed my vehicle from 2 car lenghts prior to approaching the light, white line, "used to be a stop sign". Then he indicates he had pursued me for 500 meters where i had reached 30 over the speed limit, 80 in a 50. I may have gone 20 over but definatly not 30...the officer only indicated that i ran a red light and i only found out about the speeding infraction when he throw the tickets through my window and left. However, i is almost impossible to see my vehicle from that distance, if anything i can say 1 car length and the incident occurred on a street that is less than 500 metere long...i have measure with my vehicle that the entire interaction was only 250 meters and no where within the disclosure does it indicate that my speed was captured using a radar of any sort. my question here is that the information provided from the police notes is in accurate, also he incorrectly marked my address on the tickets incorrectly. Would my strongest defense be that the cop had made numerous mistakes during the entire interaction reducing his creditability of the tickets issued being correct? Can i please receive some sort of advice for this above matter?

You could try to argue a case of mistaken identity as you were turning on a red and he may have lost sight of the car before he could note your plate number. If you admit to only going 20 over you are still guilty of speeding.

I would plead guilty to a lessor charge, which would be the correct charge however the facts of incorrect information posted as his evidence would be my strongest stance. I do not know the legal system and am wondering if discrediting the officer would be my best and/or only defense. It was night time and i do have a black car, however i did pull out in front of him meaning i wouldn't be able to use mistaken identity as a defense.

I was at my parents' house in Mississauga early this week, and my mother told me about this SUV which always parks down the street for four to six hours a day, headlights on and the occupants inside. When she takes her afternoon walk, she will usually see a man and a woman inside smoking or…
Last week, around 9:30 at the Britannia water purification plant (Ottawa), undercover cops put on their lights. I was outside of my mom's vehicle (van) about to go for a simple #1 in the bushes (even had a bunch of tissues in my hands) when one officer asked me what I was doing (my bf was also…
We are living in the age of digital video. HD 720p and 1080p CRYSTAL CLEAR Video. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million.
I had video evidence for a case but it was not accepted. I apparently did not submit it properly/ at the right time. Despite this I had my ticket…
According to current regulations, no electric car can be driven in Ontario (and anywhere else in Canada except BC). Do you find it somewhat ridiculous that, despite all the fanfare about the environmentally friendliness talk, and high gas prices moans, we cannot use the most…
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
I might be moving from Manitoba to the Ottawa area.
My question is, I drive a 4x4 truck and my summer tires stick out beyond the fenders about 1.5-2inches. Is that illegal in Ontario? If so will installing fender flares take care of the problem? Also the truck has True dual exhaust (2 pipes from…
Okay so while at school today i parked on a residential street in Hamilton Ontario. the person in front of me did not pull up very far so i was forced to park fairly close to the driveway of the house i was in front of. I got out to make sure they had plenty of room to drive out if they wanted to,…
Just wondering if I can get some help on what to do for this ticket. I have a court date on August 17th. I simply cannot afford this. I haven't had an offence in years, and pay attention to my speeds now. One night when I was too focused on the road and not the speedometer, I get pulled…
I got pulled over for doing 147 in a posted 90 zone on hwy 17 heading east towards Ottawa where I live. My car was impounded for 7 days and the officer took my licence. I'll probably go with one of those traffic ticket places. I don't feel like driving to North Bay 4 or 5 times.
