Suggestions for first ticket
I have been driving directions 23 years without a single ticket and was recently pulled over while driving a car a borrowed from my neighbour. I was driving a jaguar xk rs which I know draws attention and the exhaust is fairly loud. I was in the downtown core looking for a parking spot and had to circle.the block a couple times, I did give a bit of gas because it did sound amazing. I turned around one more time and an officer pulled up.beside me and told me to pull over. I parked the car and stepped out if the car because I didn't realize the front skirt stuck out so far and hit the curb

Shortly after he came back and I explained I was looking for a parking spot and that I have never had a ticket, he said I was stunt driving, I explained I wasn't and that the cars exhaust is loud. He said that he wouldn't charge me with stunt driving and gave me a ticket for failure to provide registration and another for failure to provide insurance, I did give him proof but he did not accept photocopies, I explained the vehicle was purchased a week ago and did not have the originals yet, the officer said that if I chose to fight the ticket he will tell the crown I was stunt driving.
I felt belittled and threatened so I said sorry and kept my mouth shut.
What should I do?
There is however, always an original insurance pink slip.
***I am not a lawyer, I have no legal qualifications and my opinions could well be wrong***.
Should I fight these tickets or will I be worse off he the officer says I was stunt driving because it would be my word against his.
You can always plead guilty at the time of trial if you do not wish to fight it at that time. So you will not lose anything by requesting a trial and asking for full disclosure and it is to your advantage.
Once you have full disclosure then you can see what evidence is used against you i.e officers notes. You can always come back here and let us know what was disclosed and maybe you'll find an answer.
