I was out on a four lane highway around Orangeville Ontario and I noticed a school bus coming south (I was going north). I kept my eyes on the bus in case it was going to stop. As I approached it, it was slowing down a little, but no lights, and especially no arm with the STOP sign. As I was just about to pass the bus, I still did not see the lights, nor did I see the STOP sign. Next thing I know the cop comes out of nowhere and pulls myself and two other people over. He accuses me of going through a stopped bus. I was pretty outraged but kept quiet about it. I'm definitely appealing this. But I haven't seen another case like mine on here and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips and any idea if I have a chance on this one? It's basically my word against his.

No this was on coleraine dr in bolton, so caledon as well. The cop that stop me is such a regular every paralegal i called or xcopper knew who this cop was by name and is a regular with this offences. Even my father in law got hit with the same thing. Well now is time to drive like a granny with this 6 demerit points they took out and my insurance probably going to skyrocket.

At least you got something. Just came from court too, the prosecution didn't even offer anything and on top of that they increased the fine :evil: . Was pretty much convicted before I even started. Its ridiculous how they are able to get away with this. For anybody that is also going through this fight as much as you can, the cop and judge will have to mess up sometimes so at least some of us wont get screwed.
