Re: Photo evidence from iPhone

Having RAW format is not absolutely necessary, however if any question arises about the authenticity of the photographs, RAW would eliminate any question of Photoshopping.
Time stamp is needed to prove the dates and time the photos were taken. I have seen collision scene photographs without them, but those are easy to prove the date and location ...

Re: RADAR DETECTOR CONFICATION

Regardless of the outcome of the trial, they are not returned to the owner. They are always turned over the the crown for disposal.

The offence is complete, whether or not the device is turned on or even plugged in. They're not legal in Ontario and it's the drivers reonsibility the be familiar with our laws.

Re: Industry Canada certification of radar device missing

The GHD/Scout are the newer models actually. Essentially the same functionality. The major change was simply the type of battery pack used. The VPD used the versa pack type battery (long tube) the Scout uses AA rechargeable. The GHD is strictly 12v.

Re: Industry Canada certification of radar device missing

They also list Genesis handheld stationary which would also cover the Scout and GHD

I believe someone tried to go the same route a few years ago and it didn't work so well.

Re: Notice of Impending Conviction for failure to respond

18(1) States: "The person designated by the regulations may give the defendant a notice of impending conviction......"
This implies that the notice is not mandatory at all.

Just remember. $5 is the application fee. That doesn't include what they charge for the actual copies of documents.

Re: Ottawa - Are "Truck or Van Only" parking signs legit?

They are "legit" and legal. The persons issuing them would be sworn as bylaw officers for enforcement on that property.
Bottom line is.... It's private property and you have to follow their rules.
Non-payment would result in no renewal of your vehicle permit until it's paid.

Re: got careless driving ticket for HITTING the back of a tr

They're not going to let you plea to 141(5). The evidence in the case doesn't support that charge. They may offer 148(5) fail to turn out to the left to avoid collision.
Follow too close may be a stretch as well. Based on your own evidence that the truck was 100 feet way when you saw it.
The officer is usually subpoenaed for collision trials ...

Re: Licence suspension...

Just because the motor vehicle had a December 15 sticker on it, doesn't necessarily mean that it was the correct one for the plate on the vehicle.
You would have had to do more digging than that.

You may want to consider contacting you insurance company wit an anonymous "what if" question.

Re: Licence suspension...

Any ticket that you get may impact your insurance rates, depending on your driving record and your insurance companies policies.
Ultimately you, as the driver are responsible for ensuring the plate was valid and are also responsible for the fine.
Leaving this in the car rental company's hands was a big mistake. That ticket will now remain on your ...

Re: OHTA s48

You didn't blow an alert of a warn on the device. You blew a fail.
They didn't have to even give you the second chance.
That section of the HTA deals with the three day administrative suspension which you wouldn't have had an opportunity to get as a result of the fail.

It's purpose is to allow anyone who may be subject to the three day suspension ...
