How would someone go about finding the history (number and date) of tickets issued for an offense at a particular location.? Say I was trying to establish that inadequate design of a stretch of road contributed to infractions of a section of the HTA? Could I ask for this information under disclosure? Would I be likely to get it? What authority would that information reside with, or who do I ask for it? Having established the authority responsible, would it require a FOI [Freedom of Information] request to obtain? Has anyone done this that you are aware of? Secondly, has anyone been able to obtain the outcome of the charges laid (such as: 450 tickets issued under section XXX, 300 convictions, 100 stays, 50 acquittals)?

i do not think it is possible as the information is too vague on the tickets. The only time a cross reference (2nd road) is sometimes, not always placed on a ticket is when it is intersection related. A place where officers could be is due to traffic complaints, or personal preference. (ie: I like to be mobile as much as possible over 60km of the 401, where other officers like to sit at a specific spot and wait) That type of info would not be known either. ie: So if you wanted to know how many tickets on Main Street East for instance....you would see say 100 tickets, but it would not indicate if it was in a 50 zone, 60 zone or 80 zone, or if it was an insurance card offence, but just an offence on Main Street, Municipality of Erie. Main Street could be 20km long. Only thing that is tracked pretty specific is collisons as the TR (Traffic Report) requires road name and nearest intersecting road.

Thanks hwybear, Good comments. I see by your reply that it would be difficulty to get information on a specific location. Do you know of a "master database", or something similar for tickets, apart from information that resides on each drivers abstract. I'm just wondering where all of this information is retained,...or if it is? Appreciate your involvement here...
Thanks hwybear,

I don't know if it is retained or where to begin to look. I would guess the best that you might get is something like: Municipality of Kodak - 2457 offences And if your lucky there might be a break down of something like this... - 1941 speeding - 406 other hta - 55 CAIA - 10 LLA - 45 other Acts Even a driving abstract is not specific to location.....it is Municipality and offence, it does not state what road the offence was on.

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…
