Brampton cop siezed my license plates because my rear tire were bald and gave me a summon. How do I get my plates back? Also how do I know how much I have to pay for this? If I plead guilty in court what happens? Are there any demerit points involved? Also I received a summon for no muffler. How do I approach these 2?

Re: Siezed plates
Go to MTO office and ask them about plates. As far as summon, you should pretty much never just plead guilty. When you arrive at the summons date, this is NOT your trial date, so I recommend you tell them "I would like disclosure before I decide how to plead." They will then set another summons date for you, and the prosecutor will have to get you a copy of the officers notes. Once you get the notes, post them here so we can review them and let you know if there is a way to fight the tickets or not.

Re: Siezed plates
As far as plates, I would go to MTO and say you want to cancel the old ones because the officer took them and you do not know where they are and that you would like new ones. It is important that you cancel them as you are responsible for them as long as they are in your name. Who knows where they will end up! What are the actual section numbers that go along with the those charges? Did you really not have a muffler on your vehicle? Did the officer look under the vehicle and specifically identify that the muffler was missing?

Re: Siezed plates
Once MTO or Police confiscate plates, those plates cannot be returned. You must go to the ministry and get new plates for the vehicle. Summons are summons because they have no set fine, based on severity, repeat offenders, etc, the fine will vary. You were charged with: 84. (1) No person shall drive or operate or permit the driving or operation upon a highway of a vehicle, a street car or vehicles that in combination are in a dangerous or unsafe condition. 75. (1) Every motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle shall be equipped with a muffler in good working order and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise and excessive smoke, and no person shall use a muffler cut-out, straight exhaust, gutted muffler, hollywood muffler, by-pass or similar device upon a motor vehicle or motor assisted bicycle. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 75 (1). The Fines for these would be: 84 (1): a fine of not less than $400 and not more than $20,000. 1996, c. 20, s. 19. 75 (1): Can't find any information on this (Ontario Courts Website says Revoked), but I'm assuming it's the standard Set:$85 Total:$110.

Re: Siezed plates
If your vehicle was deemed unsafe and the plates were seized, your vehicle is probably now considered "unfit". That means you cannot get new plates for the vehicle until you address the issues and your car passes a safety inspection. Check the ownership for your vehicle, did the officer write unfit on it?

I was stopped for allegedly doing 122 in a 90. I requested disclosure and like most received the minimum. The notes are just a photo copy with no explanations or typing.

Testing is noted in two times written at the…

Golf carts
I can't find the category for this post so I'm posting it here.

2. If you are on private property are you allowed to carry 'opened' alcohol in your golf cart? I know golf…

I got ticket for failing to stop at stop sign in Toronto. i heard that the police officer must see the stop line, if there is one, from where he was sitting.

Disobey Sign Section 182(2)
Hi OHTA forums,
I got pulled over for disobey the "No Heavy truck" sign, on the ticket it say Highway traffic act Section 182(2), but I think I didn't disobey the "No Heavy Truck" sign, because my truck was loaded with delivery items(which at the time it was under 5 tonnes), I didn't request for disclosure, the cop that pulled me over didn't even check my truck to see if it is over 5 tonnes.

Antique Radar Detector...
I picked up a brand new (old stock) Fuzzbuster a while ago at auction (wopping $5!!) and I want to mount it on the dash of my old GTO as a cool accessory when I show it at car shows. But I'm not sure if it's legal or not.
Here's my thoughts:
- It is early 70's technology (x-band) so it won't detect modern police radar. That's assuming no police force uses the old x-band frequency.

Ticketed in a slow trafic
Hello all,
I got one and what my surprise was when I found out it would cost me 4 d.p.
Later on, after thinking it over, well, at regular highway speed it can be really unsafe and dangerous.
No accident. Hwy 401.
Very lightly snowing with thin snow bands between the lanes. Slowly moving with speeds ranging between 10km/h and 20km/h.
I was aiming to change lanes from the left to the middle and then to…

95km/h in E0 km/h zone - Fatal error??
I received a speeding ticket this past weekend, and although the officer was nice and gave my 6yo a coupon for a free slushy, I want to fight the ticket.
The officer wrote the offence as "95km/h in a posted E0 km/h zone" the "E" being what looks like a written backwards 3. Now I know and you can probably guess he intended to write an 8 but that is not what is there it is an incomplete 8 and…
Driving while under suspension
Quick run down of my situation: My liscence was suspended in early September for a DUI. Got caught driving last weekend on the 401.

She searched the entire car looking for weed - none was found. I was charged with driving while under suspension.

G2 Drive BAC Above Zero
Hello,
I wasn't quiet sure where this should go, so I am going to try here.
I am 25 years old, and I have had my G2 license since March 2010. I haven't upgraded to my full G only out of not really having the time nor cash to do it as of yet. In early February of this year I was pulled over by an OPP at a RIDE program and blew a 0.031 BAC. I was unaware at the time that I was supposed to have a BAC…
Improper left turn
I was involved in an accident last month. I was proceeding along a street with cars parked adjacent to the curb.

I approached the intersection, following the same path as all the other traffic, just to the right of the centre line. When I…
Summons To Witness

Thanks.

Crossing a closed road
Highway 21 is often closed in the winter. I and a lot of other people need to cross Highway 21 to get to work. Several people have told me that if a highway is closed, it's not only illegal to drive along the highway, but to cross it on any intersecting road, because while you cross it you're technically driving on a closed road.
Is this true?
