Also, if I just received disclosure today and my trial is on Monday, am I supposed to submit photographs ahead of time, or can I just do it during trial?

Anyone? I have my trial date again soon, I'd like to know if I can successfully use regulation 615?

Thanks!

Anyone?

Would regulation 615 (the 60m visibility thing) apply in this case?

Hi All,

I was wondering, are there any laws or bylaws regarding where a sign is placed in the intersection? Do they have to be ahead of you, or can they be off to the side facing the other direction?

Also, I was in court today (got an adjournment), but the JP had mentioned that if the sign is visible, it's an absolute liability case. Is that true? I'm also not sure what she meant by 'visible'. Does off to the side around a corner count as visible? What would be a good way for me to argue that this is strict liability?

Thanks for the help!

Yeah, I know they can cost a few hundred

Do I get that back if they approve the appeal? And what happens to the conviction while the appeal is in progress, is it still on my record until it gets overturned?

Thanks

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Hi all, I recently lost my case for running a red light contrary to 144(18). However, there were two issues which I found odd, and was wondering if it was enough grounds for an appeal? 1) The officer testified as to the duration of the traffic lights. I had video evidence that what he said was incorrect, but being new to defending myself, I brought it on my laptop to present as evidence, and I asked the justice if I could present it after I had started to point out the contradictions in the officer's testimony. I didn't want to tip my hand too early, but I guess I did it too late? The justice ...

How would I know if 144(9) is strict or absolute liability though? Does anyone know?

Yeah, that was my thinking regarding the intent of the sign as well.

Is ambiguous signage a defense? I wonder if I can contact the city somewhere and get a ruling on that intersection from a city employee that I could use in court.

Thanks

I think he is talking about the "keep left" sign. But if he is, then it's really, really ambiguous.

Hi all, I was driving west on lakeshore at Bathurst, and there's that fork in the road where Fleet street is. So if going on lakeshore east of bathurst onto fleet street, you have to turn right and go straight. | LW | T | F | | LE | - LW = Lakeshore west of bathurst - LE = Lakeshore east of bathurst - T = Turning onto bathurst from Lakeshore - F = Fleet street I was pulled over and given a ticket for 144(9). Now, the only sign regarding this at all is in between LW and T which says "Keep left". I have always assumed that to mean "keep left on lakeshore and don't go into the turn...

Hi all,

I'm trying to request disclosure for a "Running a red light" ticket that I received. I have a few questions:

1) The officer alluded to him having video of me running the light. Can I request disclosure for this?

2) I just received notice of my trial today, but it's scheduled for the end of February. That's not a lot of notice for them to give me. Can I still get disclosure in that time frame? What should I do about it?

Thanks!
