Disclosure Request

Courts and Procedure EphOph

Hello Folks,

I am at it again helping someone fight a ticket, this time in London. I have a few questions dealing with the disclosure request.

Demerit Points reduced after the fact

General Talk BobbySteeles

Hi there,

I was curious if there is any way that demerit points can be reduced or taken off of one's record after the tickets have been paid. I know in Alberta one can take a 'safe driving course' after a certain amount of time with a clean record and get demerit points taken off. Is there any such…

Procedures for pulling over a car?

Unread post by ryan-lucas »

are there any set procedures that an officer must use when pulling a vehicle over (intro's,reasons,answering questions asked by driver)? are they allowed to open the doors without permission of the driver to gain info on the vehicle? just a few things that happened to me that i found a little odd during a stop.thanks

Re: Procedures for pulling over a car?

There isn't a written script that they'll follow, every stop is different. There are general procedures and officer safety considerations that they should adhere to. That said, opening the door without first telling the driver is a bit odd...

Opening the door is not as odd as you think. With CMV's and larger pickups we check the manufacturer door plate for weight verification.

think non-commercial passenger vehicle. Then it IS as odd as you think. Just some regular schmo in a regular schmo car. WHy would they open the door without saying anything?

This why i always hit the door lock remote when i get stopped... unfortunatly one of my back doors does not lock... unfotunate that 3 officers so far have set off my alarm with me in the car.....
