I had parked my vehicle in a parking lot (that was a closed for the day) furniture store. After leaving my vehicle, the Windsor police stopped and questioned me. It was found that I did not have my DL on me, no insurance, and no permit. I did provide them with my name and address, which qualifies as providing them with identification under the highway and traffic act. The police arrested me, and had my vehicle towed away. Now, the towing company has stuck me with a exorbitant bill, plus $20 a day storage, which is now close to $1000. Can I sue the Windsor police for having my vehicle towed, it was on private property? What remedies to I have here?

The short answer is yes, police do have the authority to tow vehicles from private property. They have to have some justifiable reason and a lawful authority to do so, but it's still possible off the roadawy. If you feel it wasn't justified in your case, I suggest consulting with a lawyer and seeing what they have to say.

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.

I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.

So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..

Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
