Ontario Highway Traffic Act

You won't know until that time comes. In our jurisdiction we have a full time prosecutor and one other that assists. They both take good notes for each other and have good memories.

The prosecutor doesn't have to offer anything at anytime. They do it to sometimes to streamline the court docket. Ie offering someone a reduced fine or dropping one ticket for a plea on another

If they take your licence and keep it, it's for a reason like Impaired charges etc and you wouldn't be able to drive anyway. At a road side stop they may take it back to their car, just like here.

1) No
2) Why? If is analog, there should be a MPH scale on it. If digital, you should be able to change it to MPH
3) Yes
4) and 5) http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic4956.html
6) You certainly could be, just like in Ontario

But subsection one says:
6. (1) A permit for a motor vehicle shall be validated by means of evidence of validation provided by the Ministry.
The reason subsection 2 says that "the portion of the evidence of validation not intended for the number plate may be affixed in the appropriate space provided on the permit for the vehicle."
Is because if ...

You can't plea to the offence under 144(18.1) as an owner unless there was in fact evidence from a red light camera.

You read incorrectly.

I'll be locking this post. We've all seen this before and it goes no where.

And the photocopy of the permit must be a "true copy" which means a copy of both sides of the permit.

You're confusing the terms "invalid" and "expired". Huge difference.

+1 to what screech said. By HTA definition, pickup trucks are a "commercial vehicle"

The only thing i'll say about that case is that:
1) It's from 1986, well prior to any training standards in Ontario.
2) Strike out any reference to tuning forks as most manufacturers don't require their use here.
3) It appears the officer didn't receive any training by a qualified instructor and didn't follow the manufacturers testing instructions ...

I checked prior posts and I don't think anyone actually asked what it plugs into.
And to clarify one of the highlighted areas, the Genesis radar does accept patrol speed through the VIP but it doesn't establish the patrol speed through it. It's merely a check and balance for the patrol speed. Eg. Radar without the VIP may have trouble keeping up ...

The moving radar establishes its patrol speed using the front or rear antenna. It does not obtain the patrol speed from the VIP.
I'm not currently in reach of my VIP manual to quote from it though.

The discussion the officers were having was deciding whether to charge you criminally with personation. Section 403 of the Criminal Code. You might want to read that as well and consider that you can still be charged Criminally.
