I don't accept any electronic "copy" of any documents, including insurance. How can i take an electronic copy back to my police vehicle to make notes?

JP's can not reduce points assigned to an offence. They are applied after the court process is complete. The only way a JP can "reduce" the points, is to convict using an offence that has less points.

Just a heads up. It's not likely that you will get a manual or testing instructions any more due to a recent court decision.

It depends on what the ticket was for. Having a accessible parking permit in most jurisdictions simply allows you to use the designated spaces. Not park wherever and whenever you want.

Upon conviction for driving without a G driver with four years experience, your G1 licence will be suspended for 30 days, plus the fine.

That 10 days concerns forwarding the report to the registrar, not conducting the investigation. I would likely charge someone under section 199 if they decided not to furnish me with those particulars or if another party was involved, rely on their statement.
Also, I would be obligated to caution someone prior to taking a statement if I was going ...

That subsection only applies if the municipality makes the speed on a bridge lower than what is prescribed in subsection one.

Example: If the maximum is 50km/h then the bridge is also the same speed. The only time a municipality must post the speed would be if they make it less than that on the bridge.

Just so you're aware. In the damage senario, you would be required to give the officer sufficient information to complete a collision report. Including your licence, permit and insurance. You can't "lawyer up" before providing this information.

You also might want to read the entire subsection that you posted and not pick out and hilight what benefits you. The speed in that area is 50 km/h by statute HTA section 128 (1)(a). It can be increased or decreased by the municipality by posting signs.

Even if you don't get a reduction in the fine, most courts will allow some sort of payment plan so you're not out of pocket for the total amount all at once.

And the regulation actually says "pressing a button" so as to allow the answering of calls. Not for texting or dialing a phone number.

Radar or Lidar speeds do not have to be locked in at all. It is sufficient for the officer to simply state what the speeds were.

Just be aware that they still may re serve you with the correct wording if they catch the error.

1- Radar can target an individual vehicle.
2-Radar will not register the speed of "any" object in its field. It most certainly won't pick up a tree swaying.
3-Lidar does not record an image of the licence plate unless that manufacture makes a camera attachment for that particular lidar (not used in Ontario to my knowledge) and it certainly doesn't ...

If it's hand printed the latest case law R v Wadood may have an impact on whether this is a fatal flaw. http://www.ontariocourts.ca/decisions/2 ... =hootsuite

If it's electronic there is no physical signature required at all.

Nope. Ontario Court of Apoeal has ruled that amending up a speeding ticket at trial is fine.
The officer gave you a break at the roadside. They didn't have to. I'm sure their evidence wouldstate what your original speed was.

If you go to trial and the speed was already reduced by the officer at roadside, they will amend it back to the original speed.

I didn't say the authority was under the Criminal Code. It's under the HTA and CAIA.

If stopped for a potential Criminal Code driving offence, you're still required to produce a licence, permit and insurance. Section 216 is simply authority to stop a motor vehicle. It has nothing to do with the production of the documents.
In the R v Simpson case "the police officer admitted that his decision to stop the motor vehicle had nothing ...

Except for the officers notes, you won't get any of those disclosure items from the prosecutor. The only thing else you will get would be a copy of the device testing instructions.

In opinion, still not enough of an error to have the ticket thrown out. Don't forget that your ticket is just a copy and may not have gone through all of the copies.

The correct fine is $216 and $271. What you think is a 5 is probably a 6.

31 over, the corrrect fine for an offence notice is $186.00 plus $35.00 for victim surcharge and $5.00 for court costs. Total of $226.00 This fine is for out of court payment.

The fines you quoted are the court fines I believe that can be used by the JP if convicted in court.

And having your insurance "on your phone" isnt any good either. You have to produce either a,valid insurance policy or the pink insurance card. The officer can't take your phone back to their car....

You might want to check with them in a couple of weeks though in case it's ready. It is your responsibility to seek out your disclosure, not theirs to contact you.

I think we may need some clarification as to what is meant by the "intersection line". Does that mean the stop line or part of a crosswalk? Posting the picture would probably help.

Most people I pull over don't know what a permit looks like, nor an insurance card. (I usually end up,saying "the green pice of paper and the pink one!" How would you expect them to navigate around the dashboard of a car!

Consider that most courts that deal with traffic offences and parking tickets do not deal with criminal cases at all. Our jurisdiction has a dedicated Provincial Offemces court. There are no "serious crimes" or "trivial cases"

I'm hoping by that you submitted another request for disclosure when you noticed some was missing. It is on you to make sure the disclosure is compete and not up the the prosecutor to predict what you need or require.

In order to argue in your own defence and to submit your video as evidence, you will have to testify. If all you are doing is defending yourself, you can only ask questions of the other witnesses.
