It could be one point for sure, yes! You want to find as many issues like that as you can though. The more the better.
Re: Appeal Red light conviction
Re: Appeal Red light conviction
It is not the judge's job to solicit objections. If you had had an objection you could have raised it. The fact that you didn't will make it almost impossible to raise as an issue at appeal. The fact that some judges may ask if counsel have any objection does not make it a requirement.
Re: Appeal Red light conviction
What would your objection have even been?

RCMP officially stated 20 days after the ticket that there is no such a note existed.
Re: Appeal Red light conviction
Did you submit a disclosure request to the crown or just an FOI request to the RCMP?

I did to the crown but I did it Separately I requested it through Federal Access to Information act because it was an RCMP matter and the any document is the Federal document and its subject to that Act they have the obligation to provide you that information but they said there is none existed.
Re: Appeal Red light conviction
Something isn't right. There's no way you would have a FOI response 20 days after the incident. They take along time. Could it have been some other response?

They have 30 days to respond when you request the information. This is only for Federal Government record which includes RCMP
Re: Appeal Red light conviction
Without seeing what request you made and what the response was it's difficult to comment. ATI is a bit of a minefield.

I have uploaded the RCMP letter in my previous response. Please check it out
Re: Appeal Red light conviction
Could please someone help me? I need to know what is the case/Law that says Officer should write its note as soon as possible?
Re: Appeal Red light conviction
Just to be clear - this was in Ontario, right? It isn't often that the RCMP write traffic tickets in Ontario.
It isn't just notes that the letter above says they didn't have, it says they have nothing. This suggests that either they made an error or you made an error somewhere in your request perhaps to whom you sent it. This doesn't show that the notes were written after 20 days or else the entire occurrence wouldn't have been created after that time on the computers and that isn't possible.
Did you get the notes in your disclosure from the Crown? If so then any complaint you may have will be through the Privacy Act provisions.

Ottawa. I requested the disclosure from prosecutor as soon as I received the court date but they didn't give me the officers note more than 3 month later. Also, officers not doesn't have a date written. I asked officer in the court specifically that if the note belongs to the RCMP or you and he said:RCMP. But RCMP letter shows they didn't have it at least 20 days later than ticket submission. DO you think this is good ground for appeal?
I don't think this is any ground for an appeal. You did receive disclosure in the normal course of the court process.
Re: Appeal Red light conviction
Can you scan and post EVERYTHING you have (original ticket and anything else you have received)?

• The only crown evidence was officers note.
• The officer note belongs to RCMP (I specifically asked him in cross-examination If the note belongs to him or RCMP He said: RCMP).
• The note was not written in reasonable time (The evidence is the RCMP letter which stats there is no such document existed. This letter dated 20 days after the ticketed issued. )
• The Federal Government has the obligation based on Privacy and Access to information act to provide this information within 30 days of your request.
• This is not related to disclosure, my defense is the crown evidence is not reliable.
I need the case /law that stats officer should write his note in reasonable time.

130 in 100 zone, 5 hours away
I got a speeding ticket on the 401 by Cornwall. The officer said I was going 140 initially then dropped it to 130 (for the record I don't believe for a second I was going 140, that's way faster than I would ever intentionally drive). I filled out the info on the back of the notice to request a…
Something feels fishy with my stunt driving charge
I was recently charged with stunt driving on a 60kmh road. When I was pulled over, the officer told me I was going almost 100kmh (still 40kmh above the limit) but was charging me for stunt driving because I accelerated quickly from an intersection on an empty road (in a straight line). I know…

Ottawa, Canada (AHN) - Beginning Tuesday, or April Fool's Day 2008, fines on Quebec drivers caught overspeeding will be doubled. It is not only the money penalty that will go up, but also demerit points.
The new law, Bill 42, is similar to Ontario's street racing rule. It stipulates fines for…
Speeding - what should the set fine and total payable be?
Hi,
A friend got a ticket Jan. 9th of this year for doing 110 kph in a 90 kph zone, so 20 over.
What should the set fine and total payable read?
It's confusing to me, as the prescribed fine under HTA s.128 is different than the set fine enumerated by the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice.

First speeding ticket, OPP officer claims 40km/h on 401.
An OPP officer ticketed me claiming I was going 40km/h over the limit (140km/km) on my way home with a few friends on the 401. This is my first ever speeding offense. Although I am sure I was over the limit, I am almost certain that I was not going 40 over, more realistically closer to 30 over. The…
