What section of the HTA were you charged under?

And Amber lights are generally set for a minimum of four seconds which leaves plenty of time to stop in even poor conditions.

I just love how you pick and choose what you want from a single section of the Police Services Act to further your own point. Speed checks are not illegal and are most certainly not misconduct.
Try posting the entire section next time.

42. (1) The duties of a police officer include,
(a) preserving the peace;
(b) preventing crimes and other ...

All of those scenarios are illegal.
Check section 141 of the Highway a Traffic Act

The Ontario drivers handbook is also available online with pictures.

Here's a link to the MTO with a contact number for the Driver Improvement Office..

They do show up. I see them on a regular basis.

An FOI request with the Ministry wom't get you anything. They don't have control or posession over the manual.
I also agree with trenchknfe. Any decisioon mad by a justice of thr peace isn't binding on any court.

+1 to highwaystar's answer.
You won't get the calibration documents from the prosecutor.

Did the officer look like an insurance agent?
Think for yourself first and foremost. You might want to contact your insurance company and ask some very general questions about how they increase rates based in tickets.

In a vast majority of the cases, the remedy for lack of disclosure is an adjournment. If you believe that the prosecution is not providing you with something that you feel is necessary for your defence, then you should be prepared at your next court appearance to argue that fact in front of the JP and then they will make a decision.

There is no offence for driving over a solid line.

This is one that they will gladly take to trial with no deal, regardless of your record. The prosecutor really has nothing to lose.
Try some if the usual paralegals to start.
Request disclosure as soon as possible.

It appears that the JP has made a decision about your disclosure.
See if the prosecutor will permit a viewing of the manual and be prepared to take notes. They won't permit any photocopying.
As far as I'm aware, there are no copies of this particular manual available at any library or even online.

I've seen lots of abstracts and the unpaid fine suspensions are on there even after they expire, listing the expiration date.

Don't go to the detachments. Go through the prosecutor to view the manuals.
Our jurisdiction does it all the time.
What's in the manual that you think will help you?

Never mind. Just saw the other threads. Lol

How is that an offence not known to law? Looks like the wording I use. Except I never give a 10 over.

Don't know how I missed it. The Court of Appeal in: York (Regional Municipality) v. Winlow, 2009 ONCA 643 (CanLII)

States that "The actual rate of speeding is not an essential element of the offence of speeding under s. 128(1) of the HTA. It is a particular relevant to penalty ...

I've been trying to find the case law which outlines the elements of the offence for speeding. Not much luck yet.
@Red Cliff
The complete offence is speeding. No different than the charge of Disobey Sign. It doesn't outline the complete offence either. They way it was explained to me is that the JP has to find the offender guilty or not guilty of ...

I'm not sure that this is even a fatal error. The official short wording from the Ontario Court of Justice simply says, "Speeding". I was always told that not indicating the speed and speed limit only prevented the MTO from applying demerit points.

144(18) mentions nothing about a green arrow. It only mentions that you shall not proceed until a green indication is shown.

You can still be issued a summons for not having insurance. Any time up to six months after the offence. There's not really much you can do until you actually receive the summons.

I wouldn't bet the farm on a 29 or 39 over, even for a first offence. It's going to depend on how good the evidence may be and without seeing any of that t, I don't think a paralegal can make any promises.
The prosecutor really has nothing to lose if it goes to trial in a timely manner.
A conviction on the stunt charge could result in the ...

I'm so glad I make more than a 3 figure salary then!

I don't answer radio calls. I don't catch "Criminals" every day. If you ask me whether I have anything better to do than give out tickets, I'll answer "No". I'm a Traffic Officer. This is what I do while on duty. My other duty is as a Collision Reconstructionist. I'd much rather be giving you a ticket than seeing you at a collision ...

No

Don't be surprised if you don't get all of those items. Some of them won't even exist.
See Stanton's detailed reply.

Also, ditch the word calibrate. Police don't "calibrate" the radar before and after an offence, they test it. Quite a big difference.

Agree with hwybear. Your original statement of one glass of wine five hours before is impossible.

Just wondering how we are to form an opinion when the video that you are using for "evidence" is private?
