Police not in the court!
I can't find my cop. But the prosecutor said cop will show up if they call him. Is that true?
Court start at 9:30. If I plea not guilty, my case will be handled very late, and cop might show up at 2pm, is that ture?
I did plea guilty, I'm afraid to bet.
Re: Police not in the court!
Yes, prosecutors can keep officers on the road and call them in if needed.
Re: Police not in the court!
Yes its possible they can do that.
But remember you can tell prosecutor you want to plead not guilty and then when the trial starts they will say one of two things...
(1) we are not ready to proceed (officer is not there) and are withdrawing the charge, OR
(2) we are ready to proceed (means officer is there).
If (2) happens then you can just say you changed your mind and want to plead guilty now!

If (2) happens, do you think I can still get a deal? In my case, I got a deal before the court starts. After prosecutor reads out the charge in the court, can he/she reduce charge?
Re: Police not in the court!
No, once the trial starts any deals offered are gone. You only get the deal if you agree to plead guilty to it before the trial starts.
So you probably took the best choice, given that the officer most likely would have shown up if prosecutor called them.

Yes, the days of officers not showing up for Provincial Offences Court are long gone. Most court is booked on a dayshift when the officer is working so that they can be at court and Police Services don't have to pay overtime for the officers to attend on a day off. Win- Win for the court and the Police Service.
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):
Exemption for pressing buttons

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 was not going that…
Hi everyone,
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…
Hello,
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…
