Re: Speeding Trial - Prosecutor Questions to Defendant
It also sounds like the officer was using Lidar, which will give a range to the target. It's advantage is that the officer can pick out a single vehicle in heavy traffic which appears moving faster than the others.

Re: Careless Driving - Left Turn Hit A Pedestrian
OTD Legal, you left out the Part I summons which is a quite common way to seek an increased penalty above the normal set fine, without having to have all of the extra paperwork of a Part III Summons.

Re: speed trap (19 km/h over)
It's not just about training and qualifications. Just because someone has completed training or a course, doesn't mean they are competent in that field. You'll have an opportunity to ask the officer about their training when you cross examine them. The JP can then make a decision about where the officer was qualified to use the device.

Re: Charged with incorrect section of 148 - How to fight it?
In all likelihood the prosecution will seek an amendment to the charge if they discover that the wrong subsection was used. It will be up to the JP whether to grant it or not.

Re: speed trap (19 km/h over)
Based on your description of the incident, there won't be any witness statements, you'll get a copy of the testing instructions for the speed measuring device and it's not likely you'll get proof of the officers training and qualifications.

Re: Wrong name, wrong address, wrong gender, no DL# on ticke
No signature on an electronic ticket is not a fatal error. They aren't required on e-tickets
No drivers licence number on a ticket is also not a fatal error. How else would you give someone a ticket who has never had a licence?
The big issue is that you got someone elses ticket and possibly someone got yours!

Re: is it legal? atv with snow plow
You can't "get around" the definition. An off road vehicle is an off road vehicle. It doesn't matter how you dress it up, it's still and off road vehicle.

Re: Speeding 75KM/H in 50 KM/H zone
Your laundry list of disclosure certainly didn't help your cause. You probably found it on a paralegal site that is notoriously out of date. Most of the items would of never exist for a speeding charge and some have been decided by the courts as not being relevant to disclosure. Some are also usually part of the officers testimony.

Re: HTA 144(18) RED LIGHT - FAIL TO STOP - Bicycle
Until such time as you request a trial and receive your notice, it's unlikely that you will get disclosure. You don't make this request at the police station or from the police. It's done through the prosecutors office.

Re: Appeal Red light conviction
They actually aren't "excluded form Ontario law"
The GPTR simply allows the issuing of Provinal Offence notices on federal property in any Province and says that the provinicial laws where that property is located are in effect.
A common example are the offence notices issued on Canadian Forces Bases.

Re: No Registration fine while waiting for trial on SAME thi
If the outstanding fines are prohibiting you from renewing your licence plate, it's likely that it's from a parking infraction, or red light camera.
Outstanding fines issued under the HTA result in a suspension of a drivers licence.
You need to go service Ontario and/or your local court to determine what the fine is.

Insurance MAY be affected. Not will. You'd have to check with your broker.

Re: Parking ticket not properly served?
If you were in a plaza lot, it wasn't likely a bylaw officer representing the municipality. Likely a private security firm that has authority through the city to issue parking tickets.
Section 15(4) and 15(5) of the POA is very specific about how a part II can be served:

Re: Appeal Red light conviction
I'm just curious as to where this ticket was received?
Also, disclosure comes from the prosecutor. There should be no need to contact the issuing police service.
