So recently I rear ended someone, but not hard at all. We were stopped at a red light. I let my foot off the brakes, rolled forward and accidentally hit the person in front of me very lightly. There were no damages but the guy still called the cops. The cop gave me a ticket as "Started in stop - not in safety", fined me $110 and 2 demerit points. The cop himself told me to go to court. I'm not too sure what to do, but I definitely don't want to pay $110 or get 2 demerit points. Should I plead guilty or not guilty? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure there's much you can do in this particular case. You can try plea-bargaining or hoping the officer or the witness doesn't show up... but this charge does seem to fit based on your description. Usually for things like "follow too closely" or other charges, we recommend, if nothing else, to plea bargain it down to a lesser charge. But what you're charged with is pretty accurate so I'm not too confident that you'd have any success. If you want to, though, you can fight it; ask for a trial, get disclosure to see if there's sufficient evidence against you, etc.

I have a lot of issues with the idea that speed measuring devices like radar and lidar guns are using computer generated simulations to test themselves that they are working properly. The manufacturer is making a claim that a device can test itself. Where's the proof that it works?
I was pulled over a couple days ago going down a steep incline on my way to Cobourg. In order to get up a hill in my vehicle, I have to go at least 90 or it gets stuck between gears and then when I was going down the hill I wasn't riding my brake or touching the gas, it just gained speed. When I…
