Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Proof that Darwin was right!

So write out a list of questions for the officer, prepare a closing statement summing up all your valid points, and go to court and have a JP rule.

The new strategy appears to write lots of tickets per stop, go to court where the Crown will drop one or two of them. The cop is happy to get his overtime pay for court attendance (that's why he ...

What's wrong with mailing it? My last ticket was 2 hours away. So I'm supposed to drive 4 hours (endangering hundreds of others on the road, LOL) just to get a court date? And this is smarter?

Perhaps I'll suggest that the crown deliver the date in person to his house, LOL.

A co-worker got a speeding ticket. I told him the usual, "Mail in your Not-Guilty plea and wait for a court date, now get lost, I'm busy..."

A couple weeks later, he receives a return mailing stating he must attend in person to request a trial. What?!!!!

First I've ever heard of this. Kitchener court... Any thoughts?
If it's games they want, it's ...

I was 200 m away from his car when he waved me. I was just about to change the lane, but thought he wanted me to pull over, so I slowed down to 45K, but did not change the lane as I had to pull over.

Actually He did not waved me to pull over, by waving he wanted me to change the lane.

I only could not understand his signal.

I think this is a ...

I have always requested MY continuances with the JP on the day of the trial, not with the Crown 3 days before the trial.

I would just show up on my trial date. If the Crown still hasn't provided the disclosure, I'd motion for dismissal. It the cop doesn't show up, I'd motion for dismissal. It's too late to receive the disclosure in a reasonable ...

Second judge rules "speed" portion of 172 unconstitutional:

http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/crime/streetracing/article/729505--ontario-stands-firm-on-street-racing-law

A second Ontario judge has ruled that the province's stunt driving legislation is unconstitutional, but provincial police say they will continue to lay charges under the so ...

Cops HATE people you stick up for themselves. I would NEVER consent to a search and I advise my family members to do the same.

Strike down 172 and I just might become "cooperative" again. Might even smile now and then.

I would just ask him if it was reported stolen? If not, "Am I free to go now? I have better things to do than sit here being overtaken by all those slow motorists I worked so hard at passing!"

...yadda, yadda, yadda...

Then from jail, I would call my lawyer!

Co-worker anxious to show me speeding ticket received with wrong date. Copper dated ticket 5 days BEFORE offence. I calmed him down and said to send in your not-guilty plea then wait for court date. We'll take it from there.

Can't remember if wrong day is fatal. Best plan of attack? (don't say call a paralegal, lol. That's too easy)

Next he should have said, "And I would simply NEVER speed while transporting cocain", then produced a couple pounds as proof.

...they should have banned cellular phone use altogether.

I agree with that statement. But the problem is technology has created small businesses that can easily operate out of a simple pickup truck. Many self employed individuals don't even have an office or a shop. Their tools are in the truck and the cell phone is the critical link to the ...

The case law I have read describes illegal searches of the person that has not given consent to the search AND has not admitted to, nor denied, the possession of the RD. You are not required to answer questions asked by the officer. You have every right to keep your mouth shut and NOT provide evidence against yourself.
