Hello, I was just wondering if you are radar'd by an oncoming police cruiser while you have a car behind you and the officer passes you both, cruisers brakes are noted, then I went around a corner (still on the highway) and lost site of the cruiser. Approx 1-2 minutes later the cruiser is noted behind the car behind me, 20 seconds later he puts his lights on, passes the car behind me as it has just pulled over. Cruiser follows me for approx 30 seconds (with lights off) and then turns lights on and pulls me over for the original infraction that occured while he was initially oncoming to me. From the above would you see a continuity of evidence case? Also the ticket for location states "HWY XX @ smith road" it does not mention the city or municipality that I was in at the time of the offence. Would it not have to say "HWY 11 @ smith road municipality/city of north bay", no where on the ticket does it state the city/municipality. I appreciate your help as I feel there was an un-necessary delay in pulling me over and that maybe the officer was trying to "wait to see if he could get me at a faster speed?"

Possibly. It would depend on the highway, level of traffic, time of day and how long sight was lost for. You would have to request disclosure and see what the evidence is. If the officer got a partial plate or reasonable descriptors, the fact you were in the same location with the same car following sounds like reasonable evidence. It should have the City/Municipality. If the whole location section was left blank it would be a fatal error, but I'm not sure if it's still one with the roadway listed. That's irrelevant in Court. There is no requirement the officer has to pull you over immediately after the offence, they could stop you the next day if they want. Some reasons for delays in stops are to get information back on the plate or to have the vehicle stop on a safer stretch of road.

Imagine that :idea: ....waiting for air time...then to check the plate and then finding a safe location to stop a vehicle. I have waited sometimes 10km before stopping the vehicle.

I wasn't sure about some of these things that's why I asked ;) ... What is the general thought on the lack of city on the ticket and the fact sight was lost?

You saw the officer's light's but you did not pull over or even slow down? They probably thought you were drunk and followed you a bit farther to see how you drove. What speed where you at just before you slowed? I believe the region needs to be written for them/you to know what court to attend. I believe they can amend it if you do not object "before the charge is read" It used to work that way. Every thing I know about this stuff I learned by watching other cases.(live) Luck I would rate it at a 95% success rate /withdrawn. Cheers Viper1

You saw the officer's light's but you did not pull over or even slow down? - they were on momentarily and then turned off (i thought the guy behind me was being pulled over) What speed where you at just before you slowed? - It was an 80 zone and I was doing just over 100km/h at this time, ironically I was watching my fuel economy for this trip so I wasnt speeding 95% of the time but thats the way it usually works! Luck I would rate it at a 95% success rate /withdrawn. - I do not understand what you mean by this statement lol

95 times out of 100 you will have the charge with-drawn. Fuel economy means nothing for the charge. My car gets 50% better mileage at 140kph or .50% less at 90 kph. That said if you don't slow for a cop you get what you get. Cheers Viper1

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.
I was on hwy 37 trying to make my girlfriends ganadmas mass and I live an hour away and I had an hour to get there so I was going fast but not 50 over untill some idiot got on my tail soo close that I was to concentrated on him that I kept going faster untill I got pulled over at 147 on an 80 km hwy.
I alreaddy lost 3 points and this time was just the…
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. I woke up like 5 hrs after and realize that I was about to miss my exam. I still could have made it so I asked my dad for his car since I was in a huge rush and he gave it to me.
I went on the highway and I was going at 135 km/h but…

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.
I'm hoping to get some insight for a defense in this case.
I was in lane 1 and I had a car in front of me, and a car behind me, also there was a car speeding down Lane 3 passing everyone and moved quickly into…
Are these "fatal errors"?
....waiting for air time...then to check the plate and then finding a safe location to stop a vehicle.
... What is the general thought on the lack of city on the ticket and the fact sight was lost?
