I was driving on left lane and I needed to take right turn. so, I crossed the speed limit to overtake a civil car which was driven by a police man on my right hand lane. He followed me and gave me a ticket. It seemed like he was not on duty and the ticket says "interfere with trafic". Can someone help me by answering the following question, i would really appreciate it. 1)Can a police man issue a ticket, who is not on duty? 2)What kind of trafic violation ticket it is? 3)I was driving in Mississauga close to Brampton but not in Brampton. However the ticket shows that I was driving in Brampton. 4)Please give me your best advice? Thanks

Amendments to a charging document have been allowed when the correct Section No. has been omitted, as long as the offense has been adequately described in words. It's possible, the officer wasn't sure of the correct Section No. so he just wrote a vague description. Personally, I think it's TOO vague. I would (before any testimony is taken) motion for dismissal based on inadequate description of the alleged offense. If this fails, I would motion for a continuance in order that I may prepare a proper defense based on a specified statute.

Thanks for attention and comments. ---I think he was not on duty cuz he was not wearing police uniform and neither he was driving police car but he was on civil van. ---OHTA section is: 170 (12) Ist he wrote 175 (14) and then cut it and rewrote 170 (12). At the end he told me, "just pay for the ticket and it will not effect your points and insurance". What do you recommend now?

Here is the clause: Parking on roadway 170. (12) Vehicles interfering with traffic (12) Despite the other provisions of this section, no person shall park or stand a vehicle on a highway in such a manner as to interfere with the movement of traffic or the clearing of snow from the highway. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 170 (12). This basically states that you can't park your vehicle on the road so that it interferes with traffic. If you were simply overtaking him, then this doesn't describe that action. This ticket doesn't seem right. It actually makes no sense, but moreover seems like a deliberate action to waste your time, by the officer. He didn't cite you correctly, because if you were already driving, and he pulled you over, this law would not apply. Unless you parked in the middle of the highway for no reason at all, then it makes no sense for him to even cite that violation. The violation doesn't fit the crime. It makes no sense, since you were already driving.

I got a ticket for "interfere with traffic" last night. I was on Queen St looking for a parking spot and a girl had disabled her car alarm signaling she was leaving. I pulled close and turned on my right signal. Seems the girl had some items to throw in her trunk and when she popped it, an unmarked cruiser pulled up behind me and started honking his horn (not the distinctive emergency horn but the regular car horn) - for all I knew it was an impatient cabbie. My indicator was still on and honestly other cars had gone around but the guy decided to make an example of me. He jumped out of his car and slammed on my trunk stating I'd better move or he'd write me a ticket - to which I replied that I was waiting for the spot - which by now the girl was signaling to pull out of . He said "well pull in and you'll get a ticket". Funny thing is he's sitting in the same spot - interfering with traffic as he's writing the ticket. Probably took him twice as long to write it than the time I was waiting for the spot. How is that even fair?

The fine is not the issue but I am worried about insurance rates. First speeding ticket in my life Any suggestions on how to handle this? I can't afford to spend a day at the court
So was at court today in Orillia for a friend, and I had submitted a couple notice of motion a couple weeks ago that I wanted to deal with before arraignment. I met with prosecutor before hand, and it went something like this:
Prosecutor: "Do you have the case law?"
Me: "What do you mean?"
Prosecutor: "Do you have the case law for your motion?"
Me: "All the case law is quoted in the motion that I…
1)failure to change address on license (i got married a couple of months earlier and moved)
2) license plate not fully visible
I got pulled over because I had 2 letters peeling off my license plate. I know ignorance isn't a defense, but I really had no idea that this was an issue. Plus, you see many cars on the road with peeling plates. I got both tickets and…
I was driving around 140km/h on a 100km/h posted on the highway. I was in the fast lane. The officer was very nice and reduced it to no points and just 15km/h over.
I only have my G2.
1. Will this affect me taking the G test next month?
2. I am very grateful for the officer lowering the ticket... should I just pay the 52.5$ and leave it as is.. I am a secondary driver under my dads name and we have…
Hi, thanks in advance for the help. Been driving for 10 years, clean record until today when I got slapped with two tickets. First: going 135 at 100 on the 401, second: not having a valid sticker (I recently moved and completely forgot about it)
My friend tells me I should fight the speed ticket, if anything to reduce the fine and points. Would be alot of help if anyone could walk me through…
My wife, who has never had a traffic ticket in her life, just got 11 points.
Two tickets: "following too closely" and "failure to stop"
She was on a residential street and was behind a car at a crosswalk waiting for a pedestrian. Pedestrian crossed, they continued. Cop was drivig towards them down a side street , and as they passed he went after my wife.
I was driving in mid lane and was following a line of cars around speed limit.
The vehicle in front of me was large and I decided to change to the left lane to get better line sight.
As soon as I entered the left lane, I saw the car in front of me approximately 200m away stopped dead (for some odd reason, there was more traffic on the left lane).
Over the last few months I have received several parking tickets from the City of Kitchener. I haven't paid any of them and have attempted to dicuss the situation with the parking authority of the City, however, they're very unreceptive and defensive.
I work at a downtown construction site....ironically a Court House. The site takes up a whole city block, of which ONE side has 2 hour parking…
I was driving on a teusday night in the rain and fog at whites and highview by St. Mary CSS in Pickering, ON. At the time I was waiting at a red light to make a left north onto whites. There was also a car on the opposite side of the intersection making a left. The cars beams were pointed almost directly at my face and as a result, with the combination of the rain and fog, I…
I am new to this website and this is my first post so please forgive me if I've put this question in the wrong place. Please bear with me until I learn the ropes a bit.
So here are my questions:
Antique cars and hot rods (1930's- early '60's) and seat belt use in Ontario. If these vehicles never came from the respective factories with any seat belts, do they have to be retrofitted ?
OK so Jshreck has been taking some heat for the concept of providing the DL as being not required and therefore inadmissable in court. Personally, I think that argument would fall on deaf ears in the lower court and any chance at victory would have to be in the highest court. That would be quite something. When pigs fly I think, but along that line of thought, allow me to continue.......
I have a court date soon and am wondering whether the officers just read off their disclosure notes when interrogated.
Basically, according to the disclosure notes and the said distances and speeds quoted, by doing some simple math it just doesn't add up. My concern is whether the officer can change his story when on the stand after maybe realizing this?
Last week I was driving home from college in the sauga area. I drive a 1995 Chevy Monte Carlo v6 which I've owned since 2000, I really haven't done anything to the car except tinted windows (not completely darken) and some rims, and Nothing Engine wise. Anyway I look in my rear view mirror and out of no where i see cherry flashing. When pulled over the officer asked do you…
I was charged 2 days ago with RED LIGHT - FAIL TO STOP and set fined $150 and I guess 3 points. I was driving turning left on the intersection with a traffic light, and when I jst about to turn left the light turned to orange and I didn't have enough time to stop. Once I turned I saw the light turned to red and 2seconds later I saw a police beacon flashing through my rear-view mirror. It…
I figured pleading not guilty is the same as saying it was signed which is stupid. A friend of mine told me I could plead guilty with explanation and try to get the fine reduced when I come in.
So this Friday I was stopped by a local officer for going 110 in a 80zone. He also claims I was going 105 in a 50zone,which we literally passed when he stopped me as I was braking. It has been 3 days already and I can't seem to locate my ticket on their Internet site "pay ticket". Is there a way to determine if he has filed for certificate of offence to the courts? It has been 3 days I presume…
My trial date is in a couple days for a speeding ticket (york region) and i am nervous it is my first ticket ever as well as first trial
I did notice my ticket was filed beyond 7 days, 10 days after the day i got the ticket to be exact, which is stamped on the ticket. is this enough to have it dismissed?
If you look close enough, beside the drivers' side "A" pillar you will see a white circle = front antenna of Genesis radar......plus look above the dash pad...there is the Spectre RDD.
Any suggestions on how to handle this? I can't afford to spend a day at the court
