I got of work late the other night, came to a complete stop and dumped the clutch while i turned in my front wheel drive ford escape. apparently there was an officer of the law hiding in a parking lot near the intersection. he caught up to me about 10km later, and pulled me over shortly after. Gave him licence/insurance, went to his car, came back and claimed my car reeked of pot, i told him the truth that i had no drugs on me just a small glass pipe. He asked if i had any weapons, and i told him i had a bb gun under the seat. he then put me in the back of his cruiser and searched my car. he took the bb gun and let me go back to my car. about 10 min later he came up to my window, gave me a "TURN NOT IN SAFETY" ticket and made me sign that he confiscated my bb gun. I then asked him if he gave me my licence/insurance back and he said yes and proceeded to shine his flashlight in the passenger seat where the documents were. He then saw the pipe in the passenger seat and asked me to give it to him to destroy. I did NOT sign that he confiscated my pipe, nor did i get a paraphernalia warning or ticket. The BB gun had a co2 tank in it but there were no bb's loaded in the gun. The officer said because it was under the seat it was considered "A concealed weapon" All i got was the "TURN NOT IN SAFETY" ticket for spinning my tires around the corner. I have 1 at fault accident,(fail to pass on right) and 1 speeding ticket (15kph over). Being 20 I Really cant afford another ticket. my insurance is over 400/month as is. Is it worth fighting in court? what about early resolution? Any info is better than nothing. Thanks, oneball

I would just pay the ticket. You don't want those facts put on a public record. Think about it, the prosecutor will undoubtedly ask about what was found in the car, including drug paraphernalia and a weapon----and that will become part of permanent record that COULD be used against you in the future---especially you were to ever later say you've never touched drugs or possessed weapons. A litigation party or prosecutor could dig up those court transcripts to use against you in future proceedings. So, I'd just pay the fine and avoid those 'allegations' forming part of a public record.

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…
