Ok I'm gonna try and condense this as much as I can. Last summer I received a "drive while suspended" ticket. Met with the crown and the prick offered me a "deal" of a 1k fine and charge changed to "drive with no license". I said screw that and scheduled it for trial and prayed that the officer wouldn't show. Well trial day comes and the cop shows up, albeit late 45 minutes but my name didn't get called yet which was a blow to the chin. The cocky prick had the nerve to come up to me and give me a tap on my shoulder with his disclosure and also threw in a good luck with a cocky cop smirk that made my blood boil. Well anyways facing defeat I did what came naturally and delayed the proceeding the best I could. I told the crown that I would like to accept the deal and the crown but it back to another courtroom for another day. He thought the situation was resolved, how little the bastard knew. So I show up that day and went back against the deal and said I want to apply for legal aid/CLA. So the judge postpones for another month. Well that court date I show up and I missed my appointment with legal aid and the judge gets pissed and sais next court date is to set a trial date. Well I didn't show up to that date because I figured I would get a trial notice by mail. Well the notice didn't come and somehow they managed to fit my trial in only 2 weeks after the date I missed. So I accidently miss my trial date only to call in around 4 days later wondering what happened when I was greeted with the most pleasant news that my trial was dismissed by the judge. Now I really badly wanna know what happened and If my tactics played any role in my dismissal but they want $50 for the transcripts. Is there any other way I can find out even a simplified version of what happened? Legally shouldn't I be entitled to this without forking over $50 to these greedy pricks? Please help if you can. Thanks. edit: One more thing I would like to add is that apparently for serious charges they must hold a trial even without your presence. This I was not aware of and thought if one misses trial they are automatically found guilty. Also I'm pretty sure the cop would've showed up, because the cops kind of have it out for me around here because of stupid *EDIT* I did/said growing up.

Don't buy the transcript; tell them you want to listen to the tape recorded hearing. They let me do this in the past for free and even allowed me to tape record their copy of the hearing so I have a tape recorded copy of my own.

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
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…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
