For about the price of the last ticket I got for allegedly speeding, I bought myself a night vision capable video camera as well as fashioning a dash-board mount for it with velcro adhesives. The next thing I want to do is perhaps install a swivel mount where I can swivel my camera from front windshield to the back windshield. This way, for your defense at court, all statements are recorded, and if it's a case of mistakenly identifying a vehicle, then that would be recorded on video camera as well. A modern video camera on a 16 gig sd chip can record 100's of hours of driving at a time. The other thing I want to be able to do is to be able to record in real time as well as have a date stamp your speedometer readings. The next time a police officer pulls me over to accuse me of speeding, I can say, no I haven't and I have the proof right here, maybe be able to replay the speedometor readings right infront of him. Anybody know how I can achieve this? Do you guys believe this would work?
Wish I ran into more considerate officers myself. Read my last big post. I would have less of a chip on my shoulder. The only sense I could make that the officer stopped my cab was because I was easier to catch up to. In the end, I got two ticket, lost my fares and after pleading guilty with an explanation I showed the JP my weekly earnings, wich in two weeks were less than the two tickets I received and she promptly dropped them both times, (Lean weeks) but it was kept on my driving record. She also commented, "What are we going to do with you?" To wich I replied, can you have the police stop the other cab from stealing my fares of which btw is going much faster than me in a residential? After a long pause and some research into the police notes, the Jp told me that the police notes have no mention about annother cab, just you. Very nice. I know that those two officers knew about the other cab. Maybe it's a familly member. I don't know. Maybe I should have done more research and actually faught those two tickets 10 years ago. It would have been easy cause the other cab company consisted of only one driver. That officer left that significant detail out of his notes to cover his own butt. Are you still going to tell me that officers have no motivation other than an interest in traffic enforcement. Not all of them. We can google all day for examples in the U.S and Canada about officers not on the up and up.

So whats the deal now? Let me tell you, from the cab driving example, let me make it clear that I was stoped three times by the same two officers and ticketed twice. When one officer sees annother officer committing acts that are disshonnest, can one officer pressure the other officer to stay quiet? The answer to that is yes. Peer presure is common in the business world and it's application is universal, one officer is guilty of wrongdoing, the other is guilty by association. Officers, what if your supervisors are asking you to stay quiet on a certain disshonest or illegal situation to proctect that officer of wrongdoin? Will you be the one and only whistleblower and risk your own jobs? This is how in society an officer can become a victim. Like beeing stuck between a rock and a hard place.

In the USA there are 683,396 police officers. In Canada, 67, 436, so roughly 3/4 of a million police officers in North America. Doing, arguably one of the most dangerous jobs, stressful jobs in unpredictable situations...I agree, there's probably ONE making a bone headed move every week. Are they all policing the way YOU would like? Unfortunately not. Are 99% of police officers in it for the right reasons, to try and make a difference, men and women who grew up like normal kids, who have families, friends outside of policing, church going, soccer coaching people who care more so than the courts seems to? You betcha! While I agree there are articles regarding officers making bad decisions, here's a few headlines from the past week... Ore. officer expected to recover after shooting Plainclothes cop shoots gunmen, ends robbery spree Pa. cop fought for her life before shooting suspect Ariz. cop shot, killed during traffic stop Man uses genitals to assault Scottish cop Just another week on the job...I think it would be easier for you to comment on police officers, if you had the guts to become one... As for you being stopped and another cab speeding, that other cab has NOTHING to do with your traffic stop, it wouldn't have been in my notes either...and maybe, they saw you first!! I don't know exactly what happened that day (your 'notes' are incomplete, YOU - coolcustomer - must be hiding something) so I can theorize, but until you disclose all the details, I can't comment any further on your situation...

I work for CBSA now. I'm right up there with ya on danger. Maybe not as much as our American counterpart watching the Mexican border. However I have no freedom to talk about those details. http://www.cbsa.gc.ca/ I am trying to offer constructive critisism, thats all. And maybe perhaps I'm beeing too negative and seeming like I am attacking your integritty as a whole. As for the comment of they saw me first, they were ahead of me. It's in my original story. I did forget to mention the police vehicle was parked at the time. So please Will you just put the danger in the crapper for now, I'm talking about police stopping law abbiding citizens and the fact that yes you said it, they can make bad desisions. People are people, people make mistakes and the police are no different. I saw some great examples of how in my opinion the police are using incredible intelligence to teach lessons without putting a financial burden, but I am also pointing out the other end of the spectrum. I also have faults but I always strive to do my job better. I almost got fired once on a pretty bad decision. I'm just gonna stop commenting now. BTW, yes I did want to be a police officer originally and I still have great interest in it.

Well I appreciate any criticisms, but if you haven't work in the profession, I generally take it with a grain of salt. I have a lot of respect for CBSA employees, also doing a tough job and subject to a lot of public criticism. And I agree about your comment on 'the spectrum' but that's true of any industry which employs people, from hotel managers, bartenders, paramedics to yes, police officers. Yes we could give everyone a warning, but then if people knew they were getting a warning there would be no incentive to obey the law. Does the logic an officer uses to determine which car to stop always resonate with the driver? Hell no. But I assure, every officer has an articulable reason for stopping a vehicle, and it isn't necessarily what you think... Have I confounded motorists, infuriated drivers, left people thinking like I was picking on them? I'm sure I have. Do I call it the way I see it and sleep well at night? Roger that. This one fella in town didn't want to affix his front licence plate, said it inrterfered with the look of the car. And sat it in his windshield instead, the fourth time I ticketed him (over 2 years) it was by way of Pt III summons, he marched down to HQ and lodged a harassment complaint. Dismissed. Court - $1000 fine and warned not to be seen in court again. He mounted his plate. I haven't stopped him in 3 years. We're both happy...

I think it is a good idea to put cameras in the car. :idea: You do not have to prove that your speedometer has been checked or certified to raise a reasonable doubt. The prosecution's burden of proof is different and much more stringent because they have to prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt. Similarly, you do not have to go over the same procedures, as the prosecution, to certify your cameras or videos. To prove the charge, is the prosecution who has to provide credible evidence showing that your camera system and the produced video is faulty. Good luck with that. In both cases, unless the contrary is shown, it is enough to show that, although these instruments may be working improperly, if they may also be working properly, then that reasonable possibility creates a reasonable doubt. Cheers

Holy! Glad you don't patrol where I drive, LOL! This would have to be the 401, right? I'll be travelling through your area next month (SHO Club convention in Detroit). Will keep my fingers crossed there and back (always works!) ;) Re: Camera... Recently, I was sitting in an intersection waiting to turn left. The oncoming traffic was about to clear so I made a quick look to the left to ensure no pedetrians are crossing. There are two people standing on the corner, deep in coversation, but no worries, I can turn. The intersection clears and I make my left. Just then, one of the fellows on the corner makes a sudden break from his discussion, and with a backwards twist kind of thing, launches into the crosswalk without looking (aside from the quick glance up at the crosswalk light). Of course I was all over my horn and he jumped to attention as I brushed the tips of his toes with 4,000 lbs of rollin' thunder. Of course he yelled an apology... no wait!.. he should have, but instead I got a royal tounge lashing. I just smiled. Surely he would think about it later and realize I just saved him from a certain trip to the hospital with my quick smack of the horn, right? RIGHT?? So if I hit him, do you think his buddy on the sidewalk would have backed up MY story, or HIS? (Pffft). NO ONE would have believed my story! Infact, I'm sure I'd be facing some pretty hefty charges right now. I used to drive with a small video camera running at all times on my dash. Somehow, I got lazy and stopped doing this. I'll tell you right now, IT'S GOING BACK IN!! BTW, Im selling my big Lincoln so I'm considering selling the police video system out of it. Cool conversation piece.

My Caddy is being retired for a slightly newer one. Ive been browsing all week for cameras, havent decided yet what im installing. Im thinking of keeping it as simple as a keychain cam. I too have been stopped lots. Ive had my license for 2 years. Hmm... a list of everything i can remember: Stopped in my grand prix, pipes too loud, tint too dark. Lots of arguing, was sent on my way, no tickets or warnings, but threatened if stopped again, yadda yadda. Stopped same car for headlight out. Nice guy, gave me a notice to repair it. Fixed next day and went to the police station with the notice, no one ever heard of the guy... Stopped same car, something about excessive driving. 4 lane, 80 limit. Argued a bit, overdrive in this car doesnt work, RPM.s are 3200 @ 80km/h. Warned to watch my driving :roll: Ok hated that car, sold it, bought my STS. 3 days i had it, stopped for doing 40 in an 80. I was pulling over... no cars around so hadent signal'd. "why you driving slow" umm... "i just drove through a big cloud of bugs and their guts are smeared all over my windshield" - "you failed to lower your high-beams" - :roll: there were no cars coming. "are you doing b&e's?" there was NO reason for that question, i have no clue what the hell that was. Tickets for insurense card and i forget the other... paid the insurense one, other was quashed, dont know why. 20 minutes after that, disobey sign. Quashed. They had been following me in an attempt to ID my passenger, seeing where i was dropping him off. next one was speeding. 147 in a 100 (403). Yep i used the cruise control excuse. I didnt say what i had it set to, i just said no way. Then pointed to my dash where it says in BIG BLUE SHINY BLINKING LETTERS: "SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM - VEHICLE SPEED LIMITED TO 135KM/H". All i got was a nod, and he walked away.... pled that one down to 129.... court didnt care about my arguments, radar is god. i could go on, sure theres some parts of the story's missing, there always is, but im not here to write a book.

Hi, I am new to the forum. I have been trying to get information off of here and www.ticketcombat.com for my case.
I was given a ticket for going 122km/h in a posted 100km/h zone at Hwy 401 east at Thickson Rd in Whitby ON on April 10th, 2009.
I find this absolutely absurd, since I was in the left most lane of the 401 approximately(within 5km/h) following the speed of traffic in my lane. The guy in…
Hey this is my first ticket so as much information that people can provide will be appreciated. I was making the drive home going around 90kph(in a 80) behind what I knew was an undercover police car. The cop abruptly pulled to the side and pulled back in behind me to pull me over. Now I reduced my speed to below 80 when the cop pulled to the side but he claimed he had me clocked at 109kph and…
On Wednesday I attended court at 1530 Markham Road, courtroom E2, in order to fight my speeding ticket. My original plan was to plead not guilty, and to watch all the people who went before me, the process, the Prosecutor and the Justice Of The Peace so I could strategize and form the best plan for my defence at trial. I had done some research online and sort of knew I wanted to defend myself,…
About 5 months ago I was driving along a two-way road approaching an intersection. The road had a left/ straight turning lane and a right turning lane. There was an 18 wheel gravel truck occupying the left lane at a red light. I pulled behind the truck intending to drive straight. After not moving for about 1 second, I check my rear view mirror, signaled and changed lanes to the right…
I am currently working for an auto parts delivery company and they contracted me to work as a courier.
As I left my base to make my first delivery which was less than 300 meters away from the shop, I had my seat belt off because i was under the impression, according to Section 106 Exception #6 subsection (c) of the highway traffic act, that I would be exempted from the seat belt law. The rule…
Got a ticket yesterday for "Insecure Load" contrary to HTA Sec 111(2). $160. I was pulling a utility trailer in which I had loaded a steel and wood cabinet. Total length of cabinet is 57.5". 14.75" (1/4 of the cabinet) was sticking out over the side of the trailer at about a 45 degree angle, the rest (3/4) was inside the trailer. The trailer has sides 24" high. I didn't have a tie-down or bungee…
I've been researching for months for defence strategy and basic trial information regarding my speeding ticket. However, the information is so conflicting that I have no confidence whatsoever that I know what I'm doing.
I didn't get this info from a friend of a friend, it came from this website, court officials, case laws, and a consultation with a traffic ticket fighting company.
So I was driving east bound pulling an empty tandem trailer on a gravel highway. Eventually I caught up to a truck pulling a fifth wheel. The speed limit was 70km/h and I don't quite remember but I'm almost 100% that the guy in front of me was driving at 60km/h. After being behind him for a few kilometers and getting two cracks in my windshield from rocks off his tires, I decided to pass him. I…
I have been driving for over 10 years without any tickets and accidents what so ever. Unfortunately my luck ran out this past Friday; when the officer pulled me over doing 80 in a 50 zone in Mississauga, Ontario. Officer was very friendly and polite not to mention nice enough to reduce the charge to 15KM.
On the speeding ticket it now says doing 65km in a 50 zone. Never having a speeding…
hi everyone im just wondering if its right for a cop to have my car impounded and give me a traffic ticket for improper plates when my car didnt leave my property, yes i knew the plates werent to my car but on private property it dont matter aslong as it dosent go onto public property. am i right with this that i shouldnt have gotten the ticket or my car impounded?????????????
Have been busy and haven't had much time to follow up on this...
Went to court having not received disclosure (and was not organized enough to apply for a stay), so the trial was adjourned. They photocopied the officer's ticket and notes and provided a log sheet from the plane. I've sent another request for the rest of the disclosure items.
So here's my question -- can an officer amend the ticket…
Hi guys, I got pulled over last night and was ticketed with HTA 172, I was going 157 on a 100 on 400N and was wondering what I should do. I was using cruise control but the guy in the lane to my left was driving into my lane irresponsibly to I sped up to get ahead of him and just my luck that's when an OPP cruiser pulled up behind me flashing his lights. My court date is at the end of the month…
If anyone can answer this I would greatly appreciate it.
Friday morning I checked my mail and received a letter from the MTO stating that under section 47(1) of the HTA the Registrar of Motor Vehicles has decided to suspend my driving privilege for medical reasons. This was due to a report submitted by a physician in compliance with section 203 of the HTA. Enclosed with that letter were forms to…
Ok so looking for some advice in regards to my wife's speeding ticket 120k in 100 (I was in vehicle so witnessed most - but was resting at initial clock.)
whats the likelihood of positive outcome of an 11b (or an officer no show, which I suspect doesn't really happen as much as web/Ads would have you believe) of 8months.
Wife REALLY doesn't want to go, and of course I'm the one doing all of the…
I know I shouldn't have driving but I slept at my buddies' place and I thought I was ok to drive in the morning.. needless to say I still drove and got pulled over.
Background details:
I was pulled over in the morning last week, apparently going 120 km/hr on 90km Northbound DVP. Two cop cars tailed me for a bit, saw them in my rearview mirror while on the left lane, slowed down to…
I got two tickets on Feb 20 2011. One for red light, and the other for Stop sign. I knew I had a good chance at getting off on the red light, because the officer couldn't actually see the light facing me. He was at an opposite angle, further up the street.
I set a court date for both tickets. On April 22 I moved to a new place. I went to the Service Ontario location and renewed my licence…
Winnipeg's police officers have been told to issue more traffic tickets, in part to increase revenue.
And a union representing cops says the move could hurt their efforts to curb the city's gang violence.
Police Chief Keith McCaskill said last night he -- and he alone, without input from Mayor Sam Katz -- recently made the call to patrolling officers and to those in specialized units to step up…
I'm wondering if anyone could enlighten me on what to do about the following scenario:
I was pulled over by a YRP constable because I only had one front head light working. Upon being pulled over, I also realized my insurance card was expired by one month and my car permit was not on me at all. (It doesn't matter now but my valid insurance card was sitting at home in an envelope…
I have a wicked prosecutor in my area, he is an evil man and will lie and cheat, whatever is necessary for him to win. I got a yellow light infraction ticket and the cop was a no show. I requested the charge dismissed and it went like this:
Me: I request the charge be dismissed because the officer is not here
Prosecutor: No, we are going to adjourn the trial so the officer can attend
Accident happened at a regular intersection with turning lanes and lights. I was turning left. The light turned yellow, and the car approaching sped up to make the light. I thought he was stopping, so i made the turn. At the time of the collision the light was red.
I understand that it is my fault. I'm just wondering what my best course of action is.
