They mailed me notice of trial and provided Zoom call-in details in that, mine is just "failing to signal lane change"

I have a court date but it's on ZOOM VIDEO has anyone dealt with this ?
Since this will be a ZOOM VIDEO I have no chance of officer "not showing up" since it's a pre-arranged video conference available with a click of a button ? Also how do you discuss the matter with prosecutor before the actual trial if it's a Video Call ? I'm totally confused.

I'm requesting disclosure online with Halton Court Services, one of the things they ask for is : Section No.
Explanation says:
On a "Notice of Trial", the section number is found near the top after the defendant's name and address. On the "Certificate of Offence", the section number is found half way down.

There is nothing mentioned after my name ...

thanks, I'll do option 2 and report back.

Someone else was driving my car and I got the ticket in the mail addressed to the "owner of the vehicle" . I know there is pretty much 0% chance of fighting it for not guilty but I hope they can at least reduce it. Do I choose "Option 1 Trial Option" or "Option 2 Early Resolution" to get it reduced ?

I got a ticket for failing to signal lane change HTA 142(1) on a 2 lane road. If I decide to fight it and go to court, would the prosecutor offer to reduce this just for showing up , and if so what would they possibly reduce it to since this is already a pretty low charge and low fine ($85).

Guess go tends to get tickets and who tends to get warnings.

I have always been extremely polite to every cop that pulled me over, and I always got a ticket

I think you've misunderstood the situation a bit here. Your situation and this situation are apples and oranges.

As to the original poster, you should probably start by visiting a police station and reporting your license plate as being stolen asap. I believe they might give you a form to take to a Service Centre so you can straighten things ...

My father parked his old disabled car in a parking lot of his mechanic couple months back (outside) I guess he did not remove the plates, because he just received a $338 red light camera ticket from another part of GTA, the license plate is his but the car in the picture is not his (different make, color).
I presume he can go to court to defend ...

Hi,

Police officer didn't show up so I thought the tickets I got would be withdrawn. However, the JP said the trial needs to be rescheduled; now I need to take another day off to attend. Many people at the court with me also appealed but their trials were rescheduled, too. Is this common practice? If police officer doesn't show up again, would it ...

Update:

I requested more detailed disclosure as the original did not give enough info, they never responded to the 2nd request so I went on my court date ready to request an adjournment until I get my disclosure request fulfilled. Officer was a no-show for unknown reason, charge withdrawn.

Do you have any knowledge if filing to have radar evidence dismissed for that particular device has worked in cases before or is this something you came up with by yourself ?

Since the radar evidence is the main evidence, if the motion gets upheld does it basically dismiss the prosecutions case ? Officer can't testify what the radar said since it ...

jsherk,

thanks for your detailed post especially for the link to the thread , my ticket is in exact same jurisdiction/court office and radar device as that case.

Just finished reading your detailed report thanks for that ! So basically prosecutor figured it would be too much work for 10 over ticket considering the 2 motions you have filed ?

I currently have a ticket from the same jurisdiction and the same court location using the same radar gun model, would it be a valid motion to file to have this ...

Since I can't read the officer notes, should I request typed version and if not received before trial date can I request an adjournment based on that or would the JP just ask the police officer to clarify the notes for me right there ?

They don't have to be typed, they just have to be clear. So yes, if it's hard to read you can ask for ...

***UPDATE***

I requested detailed disclosure including manual, typed officer notes.
All I received is a first page of Radar Gun manual it's Decateur GHD Scout, and completely unreadable officer notes (not typed)

My trial date is in 3 weeks, the 2 questions I have:

Is it possible to challange that particular radar device and how ?

Since I can't ...

Huh ? What law is that ? Never head of law forbidding to use fog lights with no fog

I think your son could be in heaps of trouble so he should thank god and the easy going lady, pay the total costs and then some and be happy with that, borrow moneyif you or he has to and get it over with without involving insurance.

Thanks, one more question, do I send the disclosure request to the Prosecutor's Office at the address given on the Notice of Trial ?
I am asking because I sent the original Trial Request to the City of Barrie,ON and the actual TN came with a different address of a court in Churchill,ON

I got a ticket clocked by OPP with a radar gun parked on a side of the road in the middle of the night inside his cruiser.
The officer was alone parked on the side of a 2 lane highway in pitch black darkness if that matters.

What is the most detailed disclosure I can request based on that ?

TY

I went to court office today, they had no issue re-scheduling, they were very accomodating to my surprise.

It's my mother in law , I can bring her with me if that would make look things better ? But she doesn't speak English much

Well it is a vacation, a relative bought tickets for the entire family last minute without consulting with us first.
Does that change things ?

I have my trial date 5 days from today, an unexpected trip has come up and I have to leave in 2 days and be back in 10 days.

Can I simply go to court office in person and request a new trial date ? Would they accommodate such request on a short notice like this ?

Thanks for the replies, I will do as suggested. I will post an update here once I get disclosure to get some input from knowledgeable members

I got a speeding ticket , officer showed me his radar gun clocked at 118km in 80 zone, I didn't say anything gave him my paperwork and he went back to the cruiser, came back with a 20 over ticket.

My understanding is that if this goes to trial, they will amend the speed back up to the original radar reading in his notes.

So what is the best ...

I got a speeding ticket in Barrie area in August 2015, sent in my "not guilty , trial request" option on August 30 by registered mail (3 days after offence date) , it's October 20 now and I haven't heard back from them yet, does anyone know how long they take to respond ? This is from Barrie, ON court.

jsherk,

thanks for the reply, that's what I suspected, is it even worth to file for 11B if the actual time from trial date request to the trial will be only 6 months ? Would JP even consider it ?

I just wanted to clarify regarding Filing for 11B for offence that is 11+ months from offence date till trial.
