Re: Failure to stop for a school bus

The fact that the school bus was traveling in the other lane makes me wonder what are you afraid of? That is not an infraction. My friend and I were driving along (not speeding), then right after she noticed she passed a school bus traveling in the opposite lane. It is her grandfather's car, but her...

Re: Did 116 kph on 100kph limit on 401

Fight it. There are at least 3 reasons for that:
You will delay the conviction entering your record by about 1 year, you have a chance to win if the officer is absent in court and also the crown can lower your speed to under 15 km/h over (most likely).

"The testimony of the defendant has to be believed" ???

As per Eric Lai in thestar.com:

"The Supreme Court had held that the testimony of the defendant, unshaken under cross-examination, is to be believed."

Is that true?

Re: Should I fight it?

Fight it! At least you will delay the moment when the ticket gets on your record. Second, if there are other cars around at night, it is quite easy to create reasonable doubt about which car was speeding.

Re: Please help me understand the officer's notes

I am really sorry. I was too happy when I heard the magic word: "withdrawn", so I might have missed her explanation. From agony to ecstasy is but one step...

Charges withdrawn

Just came back from the court - a pretty interesting experience. First of all, there where over 40 people there and I was the only one who pleaded not guilty and stuck to his guns. Isn't this strange??? After 20 minutes from the moment the court was in session, the prosecutor asked me to step outsid...

Can I ask the court not to admit evidence that was not discl

Since the prosecutor did not provide the radar testing procedure, even though I asked for disclosure in regards to any evidence they will introduce, can I ask the court to not accept such evidence in case the prosecution starts asking the officer about these testing procedures? Also, can I use the t...

What is your advice about my second question: since the prosecutor did not provide the radar testing procedure, even though I asked for disclosure in regards to any evidence they will introduce, can I ask the court to not accept such evidence in...

Re: Please help me understand the officer's notes

Thanks Radar Identified. The other thing is that I asked for disclosure in regards to any evidence the prosecution intends on bringing to court. As I said, I did not get a single page from the lidar manual. Can I ask the court to disregard any evidence given about the testing of the lidar - in case ...

I have attached the ticket and officer's notes here (JPG format). Can you please explain to me what is written there? I have no idea what he means. What do...
