You keep going back to the issue of whether officer should have showed you the display of the unit or not. It's a non-issue. They are not required to, and whether they showed it to somebody else or not does not help your case in anyway.

Also, do NOT bring up the issue of the speed about the officer saying it was 84 not 80 ... this could ...

The display of a vehicle's speed on a police radar or lidar does not have to be "locked" on the screen, the officer just has to have seen the reading, therefore it would be a blanked display when viewed anyway.

From my personal experience I do not show a reading if asked. For a several reasons:
- a person outside their car with other traffic is ...

Bringing someone else to court pretending to be you won't work as we ID the driver through the valid photo ID drivers licence provided at the scene. Courts don't expect us to be able to pick people out of a full court room 9 months after a traffic stop.

Thanks, argyll. I didn't mean "bringing someone else to court pretending to be" me. I was ...

I just read through the other three pages. It appears you may win or have the case withdrawn; the problem is that you're going about it the wrong way.

Can you provide us with a scan or a type out exactly what was provided to you in the "narrative text"? Please make sure sensitive information is not included (ie. officer name, badge number ...

You need focus on the essential elements the crown needs to prove in order to get a speeding conviction.

For an Ontario Speeding Ticket, the only disclosure items you need to ask are in the sample form here: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic2959.html

* A full copy of the officer's notes, typed if not legible;
* If short-form writing ...

If the disclosure is really only what you received, it's a slam dunk. That being said, those are some of the absolute worst questions.

Why is the colour of your shirt or whether or not you were wearing khakis relevant? It's a speeding ticket. The officer is not required to remember what was on your dash, what color your seats were, or what was ...

Would the following questions be useful during cross-examination?

1. What color is my car?
2. How many doors does my car have?
(The color of my car and the number of doors are not mentioned in the computer made "Ontario Offence Ticket in Narative Text" provided to me as the officers notes, but probably they can get this info by using the plate)

3 ...

Your reply gives me hope that this case can be won. Probably, not by me but by an experienced ticket-fighter who knows how to handle this. Do you happen to know such a ticket-fighter? Thanks.

Save your money. If what you received is the only evidence they have, I can't imagine they'd even proceed to trial.

Thank you, Bend. I have a feeling ...

It seems like you got one of the new e-tickets (which ARE permitted). The officer's notes do not need to be handwritten. They simply use the laptop inside the cruiser which populates a lot of your data once your driver's license is swiped and then they type in their additional notes. There should be some notes about things like the officer's ...

I got a disclosure. I requested a full copy of the officers notes but was provided with something titled "Ontario Offence Ticket in Narative Text". However, there is no narrative there and its not a handwritten either. It looks like a computer printed form that just repeats the info from the ticket. There are no additional details whatsoever other ...

The officer is correct. There's way too many variables to give you an answer.

Surcharges vary by company. Most insurance companies use the Facility Association Rules as a guideline. Those guidelines would tell you 1-49 is a minor offense and the first conviction would result in a 0% increase. Some insurance companies will advertise this as a ...

Let me expand.

If you sit around for months and wait until the last minute to request disclosure, it will be used against you. You're going to argue how you don't have disclosure and the other side is going to make the point that you've made no attempt to request disclosure until the last minute.

Your trial will likely be adjourned and you'll ...
