Well, my questions have been answered so I guess this thread is pretty much closed.

I can honestly say I have never been let off with a warning. Even when the officer was in the wrong they gave me the tickets and I can promise I was quite pleasent.

I know my attittude towards the police was soured when I was working downtown Toronto and I was ...

As others have said, be polite and hand over your licence and vehicle documents when asked, but watch your self to make sure you don't say anything incriminating. My goal during a traffic stop is to be as forgettable as possible so that come court time the cop doesn't remember anything about me except for what he has scribbled in his notes. If you ...

Recently my mom was pulled over and the officer threw the ticket at her and told her "see me in court". I was for a expired stick, which I advised her she should change and also film a cop when pulled over because of situations like this.

Anyway, my questions are:

1. Can you swear at the officer during a traffic stop?

2. At what point can an ...

Has anyone used french court in Hamilton or the GTA?

I would like to know if it is worth trying out or not. Do the officers show up for those trials?

I have had a dashcam for many years. It has come in handy a couple of times as I drove a commercial vehicle for a while. Once I had a guy lay on the street infront of me and Yonge and Dundas and claim I hit him. The cops were laughing already as they walked over, so I mentioned I had it on tape and they just reviewed it, I gave my information, but ...

Damn, I should have recorded myself communicating with her. If she denies me showing up, not sure how I can prove I was there other than me pulling up in my car......

I also recorded the phone call of her telling me she had the disclosure package, so I can use that to prove that they had it, but I only have my dash cam video of me pulling into the courthouse on February 27th as I know I cannot film on private property.

As I stated in another thread, my wife will not be attending. My main question now is whether she has to be present for me to stand up and say that I never received her disclosure as her representative. The Last time I was in court, the Judge asked if she was present.

Since they lost my disclosure I would imagine that I will stand up and tell them ...

I think I may have gotten lucky today.

I called 2 weeks ago and they said they had my disclosure package ready. I showed up in person to pick it up and they said they lost it and would have to re-request it. Considering my trial date is March 9th, I am guessing I don't have to continue chasing the prosecutor after 2 requests, and 1 phone call ...

I guess I could argue that I was actually ready last time as my wife was there. The JP asked if she was there, I said yes, then was told here was my new date. I never even told them I did not receive my disclosure yet, never got the chance.

I understand now why I could not file both. Thanks for clarifying that.

The courts have decided that it it is YOUR responsibility to check if disclosure is ready and it is NOT the prosecutions responsibility to inform you that it is ready. Sometime they do send it and sometimes they do contact you to let you know its ready, but they do not have to. If it is ready but you did not call to check, then the delay will be ...

I faxed them with my address. I don't use a cell phone and would prefer to be contacted by mail. I would gladly pick it up if they were to contact me. City of toronto actually sent me a letter letting my know my disclosure was ready not sure why peel wouldnt.

Yes, I kept the fax receipts. I didn't use their form so I am guessing as I did not put my phone number means they do not want to answer it.

I filed for disclosure on June 14th and January 10th.

I will see if I get it or not.

I never got to speak to the prosecutor regarding my disclosure at my last trial date. She didn't want to hear anything from me and I just got a new trial date. Because I did not mention it can I still use it in court?

My main issue is now that regardless of whether I get disclosure or not, I still cannot proceed as my wife cannot be there. She will have just had a baby or will be just having one, so I am not sure how to approach this as you are saying 14 months is acceptable.

I still think I can win in court as the office made up a HTA law on the spot, but my ...

So if I do not receive disclosure before the 15 days I am better off arguing that instead of filling for an 11b?

How has your right to make full answer and defense been prejudiced by the 14 month delay?

That will be the biggest hurdle you'll have to overcome in an 11b application. Clearly, you haven't lost your dash cam footage nor have anything that is overly time sensitive such as a dying witness or someone who is moving away, etc. Remember, you must ...

I forgot to mention I applied for trial date and innocent and never went to a consultation or anything else.

Just so we can all understand the situation better can you fill in some of the blanks here?

-What was the offence date and what was the charge? Are we talking HTA or other provincial offences?
-Was your only court date in August of last year or have there been others? Please list all court dates and what happened on them.

The reason I am asking ...

When considering an 11b application the justice will determine how much of the delay is due to the actions of the crown and the defendant. If you request this adjournment, the delay caused by it would not be counted toward the total delay for the purposes of the 11b application.

It would but that has no bearing on my case as it is already 14 ...

The other problem I run into is that my wife is pregnant and due to deliver on March 17th (which I can back up with documents). I am guessing that even if the JP agrees that I can adjourn for another day if they will not accept the 11b?

My trial was delayed in august to march of this year because the previous case required a translator which put it at 14 months from date of issue.

On my 11b do I just make my argument based on section 11b being breached because of the time?

Also, can I show up to do this instead of my wife as she will be due to deliver a baby the following week ...

Went to court today, I never received disclosure but I was told that court would not have time for my trial as the person ahead of me needs a interpreter and it will take too long. My next trial date is for March 9th.... Which leads me as to whether I am able to file for a section 11b?

Infraction date was January 14
Pleaded Innocent January 27th ...

You will not recieve disclosure unless you request for it in advance. If you did, Great, your trial will be posponed and will not be used against you. If not, they can use the delay against you if you try to apply for an 11b (if the trial takes longer than 11 months).

I filed for disclosure June 5th...... My question is whether I have to file ...

I have my court date next Tuesday, never received my disclosure.... I guess I will be getting a new date pending the officer shows up.

I was driving along, 2 squad cars had someone pulled over. I slowed down to change lanes, still about 50 feet away, had my signal on and the office walked out of her vehicle, and pulled me over with her hands. I asked her why I was being pulled over and she said I did not change lanes for an emergency vehicle. We started to argue, which I filmed ...
