Here is an interesting article that shows how desperate the police is to pull you over.
Our police at work
Re: Our police at work
I'm a big fan of Jim Kenzie. I went on Canada's Worst Driver (Season 2)expecting him to be a judge like on Season (1). I thought just the chats I would have with him would be worth the hammering I would take for my opinions on speed. Though there were a couple really good judges on Season (2), I was very disappointed that Mr. Kenzie was not one of them. He is a very opinionated driver and is not afraid to speak out against police tactics. Most folks don't have the guts to do that!
I was in traffic court two days ago and the lobby was packed with "victims". I mentioned to my stepson that out of all these people, I bet we're the only one's to go through with a trial. And I was right! Every single person pled down to a lesser charge, rather than stand up tall and defend themselves. Of course, that meant we had to wait until the very end, but were rewarded with a crushing victory over the under-prepared officer.

Question regarding appeal
Hey,
I posted here a *while* back when I first got my speeding ticket, and I've been fighting it forever. Anyway, long story short - I went and had an appeal and both the prosecutor and the Judge agree that I have valid grounds to appeal on, but what we're arguing is whether the correct remedy is a…

In 2005, the government passed legislation that enabled the introduction of variable speed limits at some point in the future. It didn't take effect right away, so it sat waiting for "proclamation by the Lieutenant Governor." Just by chance... I was reading the HTA earlier while browsing this…
