I am getting disclosure but not entirely sure what to look for.

In your case, it looks like full disclosure would be a copy of the officer's notes and the lidar manual. For the manual, they will need to provide you with the parts of the manual that deal with the testing and use of the device. This is so that you can determine, from the officer's ...

How did the crash happen? Did you go off the road or did you hit a parked car... ?

If you went off the road and hit something, you may be able to plead to a charge of Leave Roadway - Not In Safety.

Other than that... Traffic Law made a very important point above. What you said in the statement is very important. If it does go to trial, you were ...

Some of the discussions that happened since this was posted indicated that bilingual defence would not work. The story is, the City of Toronto appealed R. v. Myers, and then Myers pled guilty instead of going through another trial... go figure that one. We also found that only a Superior Court Justice may make a declaratory order, and the JP and ...

Couple of things. If her brother's car did not have insurance, her brother can be charged under the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act - not her, unless she is listed as an "excluded driver" under insurance. (However, you said the vehicle was not insured... so, in an odd twist of things, she wouldn't be charged anyway. :shock: ) The owner cannot ...

Well, they were several months ago, I just covered them up with spray paint as a temporary fix. Damage = Front bumper + right quarter panel (two separate incidents). Plus, scratch to hood - was entering an underground parking garage when I lived in Windsor, ramp was angled, roads were a bit slushy but okay, entered the ramp which was a skating rink ...

One of the questions for court would be "where on hwy 24 did you get the reading of 96?" (As Reflections indicated.) Then you'd have to submit photographs/proof of the fact that the speed limit wasn't 50 at the point where she was clocked at 96... it's a minor point, though. As for photographs, buy one of those $6 (or whatever) disposable cameras ...

Congratulations on your win!

Merry Christmas.

None that come to mind.

One other thing to add... if they go to trial on another date and the officer is not there again, do not allow them to adjourn the trial.

Stand up and say something like: "Your Worship, with the deepest of respect I cannot agree. This is the second time I have come to Cambridge to present myself for trial, and again, I have been ready to proceed ...

Hi

I went to court on Dec 8th 2009
Cop didnt show they adjourned ..

I have a Yellow paper saying DEC 22/09 TO SET DATE
Are they telling me to go back to Cambridge just to set a date?

Or is it going to be trial too?

Seems like it's ...

Welcome to the forum! :) Hopefully it proves to be helpful for you.

1) does anyone have case law or information on lidar errors with regards to determining the speed of a motorcycle?

Depends on the make/model. You'll see some stuff on YouTube about sweep/panning error and "slip effect," but many LIDAR devices used by police in Ontario are built ...

Truthfully, it's unlikely that they'd change it, particularly in places like Mississauga. It can happen within 6 months of the offence if the Prosecutor has a mean streak.

To prolong the process, do exactly what you proposed: Set a trial date and then plead guilty before the trial starts. If you receive a notice that they intend to change the ...

Any good tailgaters?


The BMW that edged by on the right was sitting on our tail until my wife moved to the centre lane to let him by. He wouldn't move left, so she did.

When did you get the Accent? I thought you had a Civic.

The Accent's a rental. You thought correctly, I do have a Civic... but my wife's Saturn was in the repair shop for ...

Driving on the 401 through Scarborough when there's light traffic...

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-oC38QeRE8[/youtube]

We were going 115-120 and being passed by the majority of the cars...

WOW, dropped from 50 over to 20 over?! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

That was one very nice officer... Holy Cow...

Truthfully, if I were in your shoes, I'd just suck it up and pay ASAP so the Prosecutor doesn't turn around, withdraw the 20-over speeding ...

But, does not matter how many or big or bright the lights are when responding priority in the left lane there are always vehicles that:
- stop in that lane
- just move from the right lane and out in front of you
- wonder why someone else in front is slowing and moving right (the vehicle farther away has seen the cruiser), the vehicle then veers ...

What I'd do is file the disclosure request and see what happens. Just a word of caution with the form (although I'm sure you already know this): Many people download the "sample form" from ticketcombat's website, cut-and-paste it, and submit it. Most of the requests and information for disclosure on that form do not apply to the vast majority of ...

Had several do that to me a few times....then they got a visit from their friendly neighbourhood officer

They should get a little talking-to.

What gets really ugly is some morons try to do the "towed by the ambulance" routine, when in Toronto, due to heavy traffic and motorists not pulling over, emergency vehicles on priority calls spend about ...

Sounds like you did nothing wrong. Don't worry about it.


Section 175, Highway Traffic Act of Ontario: School Buses

Duty of drivers when school bus stopped

(11) Every driver or street car operator, when meeting on a highway, other than a highway with a median strip, a stopped school bus that has its overhead red signal-lights flashing, shall ...

Send in a typed & signed form by fax, registered mail, or drop it off at the courthouse - make sure you get a receipt if you drop it off!

Ticketcombat's website gives a sample form:

A word of caution: The "specific request" in the sample disclosure form that Ticketcombat provides does not ...

If I understand you correctly... (sorry if this sounds like I'm repeating what you said)

You approached a four-way stop. School bus was to your left and not in the intersection. You made a right turn at the intersection, and at no point did you overtake or go by the school bus in either direction, is that right? Or was the school bus in the ...

Eventhough I'm still not sure how to prepare it later, but I'll try.

When you do get disclosure, post the info here (edit out the personal details) and we'll see how we can help.

And I am really thankful it is not like it is in the States, being pulled over down there in some places is very stressfull for both driver and as I imagine officer too.

Some states/places they're pretty mellow too...

That said, I think the most stressful traffic stop I've ever been in was when I got pulled over by the Michigan State Police in ...

Did you request the adjournment to "review" the disclosure? If so... unfortunately that "stopped the clock" for an 11B motion. If the JP granted the adjournment because the Crown had failed to provide the disclosure, then the clock is still ticking and 11B might work.

Incomplete disclosure - see if that's enough to stay the charge. Five requests ...
