Re: Recommended charge to plea down to?

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.

Re: Recommended charge to plea down to?

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.

Re: Failure to surrender insurance card in dealership loaner

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

Re: Failure to surrender insurance card in dealership loaner

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 ...

Re: How to get an adjournment

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.

Re: Set fine wrong, total payable correct

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.

Re: Set fine wrong, total payable correct

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

Re: Incorrect Set Fine Payable - Force Fatal Error

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.

Re: Drive Motor Vehicle "No Permit"

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....

Re: Received Notice of Trial - need advice on next step

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.

Re: Red Light Camera: Front of car over intersection marking

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.

Re: Automotive technological advancements and their impacts

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!

Re: What if car is stopped at traffic light

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"

Re: Speeding Trial - Prosecutor Questions to Defendant

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.
