I recently got pulled over. I own a shop and have a service plate, and was using it on a customer's car. when i asked the officer why i was pulled over, the reason i was given was "because you have a service plate". when he asked for my license, insurance and registration i handed him the ownership to the service plate, my insurance, my license, and the ownership to the car. the car's plate portion was completely empty, as the car was unplated, and was not signed. on the part where you sign, it says " This PLATE portion must be signed by the owner to be valid". it specifically says plate portion. what i am assuming is, because the plate portion was completely empty, it was just a blank piece of paper and held no legal bearing, and therefore did not need to be signed as it was not actually a vehicle permit. do i have a valid argument or should i just plead guilty? also, i have to rant, i am so friggin frustrated with this, i at no point exceeded the posted speed limit, i religiously respect all road laws, coming to full stops and using my signals, etc. this officer stalked me for about 10 minutes, he did not use his signal once, he was clearly driving while distracted as he veered out of his lane multiple times, he blew stop signs, even cut someone off and was honked at. i gave him my service plate ownership in one piece and he returned it in 6 different pieces all in a mess... and to say i was pulled over for having a service plate.... WTF? isint this harassment? i am outraged that a legal permit which i pay taxes for is probable cause for pulling me over. when i called the niagara regional police i was hung up on when i said i would like to make a complaint.. i am so dissapointed in this agency...........

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…
