Re: Electronic Proof of Insurance Cards - accepted by LEOs?

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?

Re: First Timer...Please help!

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.

Re: exceeding speed limit by 15km/h-Trial or Pay?

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.

Re: Parking ticket

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.

Re: Making Statements to Police Officers

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 ...

Re: How far Police Radar needs to be away from Speed Limit s

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.

Re: Making Statements to Police Officers

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.

Re: How far Police Radar needs to be away from Speed Limit s

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.

Re: Received red light camera ticket, requested early resolu

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.

Re: Disclosure has Spd Read 120, Locked 117km/h - fine is 12

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.

Re: trying to ask for additional disclosure what should i do

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 ...

Re: ticket not signed by officer

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.
