Hi, I'm new here. I just needed a bit of help. I was charged under section 32(1), on the LLA. 32. (1) No person shall drive or have the care or control of a motor vehicle as defined in the Highway Traffic Act or a motorized snow vehicle, whether it is in motion or not, while there is contained in the vehicle any liquor, except under the authority of a licence or permit. R.S.O. 1990, c. L.19, s. 32 (1). I was not driving the vehicle. I set a court date, but now I've been reading that they can AMEND my ticket if they want, since I set the date before 15 days was up.. Can they change my fine? Put it under a different section? If they can't do that (change the fine entirely), where do I find the information to support this? I'll also add that I corrected the officer 3 times for 3 separate errors on my ticket (sex, name, and address). I also told the officer that the offence was wrong and he didn't change it...

They can amend the offence. However, driving isn't the issue. You do not have to be driving the vehicle to be charged with this offence. The issue is "care or control." If you were so much as sitting in the vehicle (among other things), for example, you could be charged with this offence.

I was in court last week for a three dem points offense. The prosecutor offered everyone a plea of guilty with a lesser fine and no points. Almost 90% of them took the guilty plea.
For those who didn't agree to the plea bargain, they called them out after sometime and had the police officer "work"…
Am I the only person is Ontario that wonders why it was determined that the lines on the road [specifically the outer edge lines-shoulder of road] are painted white ... as the lines are not too visible in bad weather - especially snow as the white line blends with the snow.
My wife received a ticket for driving with expired plates in 2013. I sent the ticket in the mail with payment but stupidly didn't make sure that it was paid. I assumed that they would send us a notice if it didn't.
Today, my wife was at the OPP office to get a criminal record check for school.…
I got this ticket last year in toronto and received court date recently.
Basically I parket on a street where there are marked spots for car parking but they were all faded with only the white edges showing. I assumed I was in the correct spot when I got out. I never noticed the fire hydrant in…
Hi. I have trial date coming up and some good advice would be appreciated. A few months back the OPP clocked me at 142 KM on highway 401. It was late evening and I was totally surprised when he pulled me over. I had my wife and 2 sons with me in the car and there was no way I was speeding. I…
Okay, so as you guys can see in my previous thread, I got a ticket for "Red Light - Failed to stop". The ticket i got was in Scarborough. What paralegal/lawyers would you guys recommend I go with. Cost isn't really an issue, but I would really like to get this ticket dismissed.
I was driving up the skyway bridge in Burlington Ontario in the right lane. I noticed an emergency vehicle on the right side with flashers about half way up. I slowed my vehicle by at least 10 kms to 90km right away but another car started to tailgate me very close. I even said to my wife - oh my…
I was travelling east bound on ellesmere road and approached markham road attempting to make a right turn. All signal lights were red and cars traveling down markham road south were given the green arrow. I slowed down and attempted to make the right turn. I got…
