thus he also gave me a ticket for…
Hello all
(simon or anyone else can feel free to answer)
I requested disclosure of a radar manual in original disclosure request. Didn't get disclosure until trial date, so an adjournment was granted. At that time the Provincial Prosecutor stated that it wasn't his policy to release the manual to…

Hey folks. New forumer here.
Just curious to hear a few opinions on the following video taken at a photo enforced intersection.
As you can see, the light was still yellow for a fraction of a second as the camera-car entered the intersection (crossed the stop line), but it was close.
I drive a Honda Civic and we all know how those are when it comes to theft. On my driveway my brothers car was stolen twice and once broken in to. Also a few other cars have been stolen on my street. I have an alarm and all that. But say my alarm was going off and I ran outside and fought off the…

Hi, recently I was driving home around 2:30pm from the bus stop I drive to in order to bus to school. I was traveling down Kennedy just past 19th seatbelt on, doing the speed limit. About one and a half kilometers past the intersection of Kennedy and 19th a fox sprinted across the road. I swerved…
Wrong address, Is the speeding ticket invalid?
I was on the 401 near chatham and was clocked doing 126kmh. I was fined for doing 115kmh. This happened on a Monday. That prior FRIDAY I had changed my address. The cop had asked why my drivers license card had a different address than what he had on file...
So on my speeding ticket he wrote my OLD address which was on my drivers license that I gave him. But yet his files showed my new address.
Should this ticket be fought in court for him not writing my current address on my ticket?

No.
Re: Wrong address, Is the speeding ticket invalid?
Wrong/different address on ticket will not get the ticket dropped. It is irrelevent to the charge of speeding.
I suggest you plead NOT GUILTY and request a trial with the officers present. Once you get your Notice of Trial, you can request disclosure (officers notes and speed measuring device manual). Once you get officers notes, post them here so we can give you more advice.
Remember that even a 0 demerit charge of 15 over can still cause your insurance rates to go up.

is there a list of fatal flaws in a ticket posted somewhere?

And there is some good info on this site: http://ticketcombat.com/offences/fatal.php
Just note that over time some of these things may have change!
So an incorrect Set Fine which IS a fatal error, but I believe the courts have decided that incorrect Total Payable is NOT a fatal error any more.
Also I believe it is different now if you bring up a fatal error at your trial, because the prosecutor can simply ask the JP to amend the ticket and fix it right there on the spot and then your trial continues as if there was no error. So you need to learn how to force a fatal error by not showing up for trial (but they may still find you guilty and then you have to appeal to win).

txs buddy;
