Hey guys, I have a court date coming up on Sept 1. I was wondering if there is a way to check if the police officer has showed up in court prior to the trial? This is my first time in traffic court, any suggestions? If officer shows up in court, how do i plea guilty instead of proceeding with trial?
It does not matter whether you did it or not... it is our right in this country to be considered innocent and make them prove it in court. More people should stand up for their rights and fight every ticket they get. Requesting a translator when you do not need it is NOT the cause of our higher taxes. Government at all levels is already ripping us taxpayers off big time, and the Crown certainly does not care how much it costs to fight anybody for anything. The Crown will spend tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars chasing people down for paperwork crimes (no real crime done to anybody) and that is what is truly costing us. If the police/prosecution had to prove that these charges they were actually UNSAFE (driving faster than a posted speed limit does make it unsafe) then that would save us a ton of money because they would not be writing near as many tickets and THAT is what is wasting our court time/resources. It is government that is wasting our money and raising our taxes, not those that are standing up for their rights.

If you have disclosure, on the day of trial, when signing in tell the prosecutor you want to speak with the officer to have them decipher something on the disclosure you cant read before you decide how you want to proceed that day . If they call the officer then you know. Otherwise they will be up front and advise the officer is not there

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…
