Hello, I recently had a trial date set for a simple bylaw infraction (sign related). The set fine and victim fine surcharge was $18.75. I had requested disclosure, received the package and intended to go to court, however I had a work related meeting come up and couldn't make the court date. Since I missed the court date I received a letter of conviction, stating I owed $28.75. The fine had increased $10 for no apparent reason. I can afford either fine, but isn't this illegal to increase the fine after court? Isn't the set fine for all tickets assume that everyone will go to court and those costs are built in? Thanks in advance. PR
Hello,
I recently had a trial date set for a simple bylaw infraction (sign related). The set fine and victim fine surcharge was $18.75.
I had requested disclosure, received the package and intended to go to court, however I had a work related meeting come up and couldn't make the court date.
Since I missed the court date I received a letter of conviction, stating I owed $28.75. The fine had increased $10 for no apparent reason. I can afford either fine, but isn't this illegal to increase the fine after court? Isn't the set fine for all tickets assume that everyone will go to court and those costs are built in?
So I receive my court date letter saying I committed a bylaw offence with a set fine of $18.75. I get convicted of this bylaw and the fine has now increased randomly $10 to $28.75. It's the exact same offence but the fine changed when I left the court room compared to when I entered it. This is allowed?

If the set fine is $18.75, then you'd add $5 for court costs and, I think, $5 for the victim surcharge (I'd have to double-check that amount, though)... so $28.75 is the correct total payable.

I have a lot of issues with the idea that speed measuring devices like radar and lidar guns are using computer generated simulations to test themselves that they are working properly. The manufacturer is making a claim that a device can test itself. Where's the proof that it works?
I was pulled over a couple days ago going down a steep incline on my way to Cobourg. In order to get up a hill in my vehicle, I have to go at least 90 or it gets stuck between gears and then when I was going down the hill I wasn't riding my brake or touching the gas, it just gained speed. When I…
