Similar to this, I once got a ticket for parking in a snow removal zone....I was parked on my front lawn.......WTF. The town had never and will never remove snow from the lawn........Although, I ticked option 3 and never heard anything else.......

Excellent

do everyone a favour and park away from fire hydrants...... Too many fires this time of year to risk time or your car....

The officer was well within their rights to do what was done. However, the sticking point here may be what speed zone was your wife in when the speed reading was taken? The officer will have to prove which zone, 80, 60 or 50 the vehicle was in to make the speed stick.

The failure to produce the insurance card might get tossed, depends on the ...

Nicely done.

Don't think of it as working hard, more like making sure all information is accurate and correct. That is what you are doing by fighting a ticket.

He's the cop, and if he says not an issue, take it and run......

If the interpreter doesn't show up, I win the case.

So I can wait until very last moment to plead not guilty to the judge, right?

No, you get adjourned....unless it's the court appointed interpreter, then it's up to the JP.

With the officer so close behind you, you didn't stop because you were unsure if he could or not...............

I would not fight "every" ticket....can't argue with father-in-law when he hands a plane ticket for Dominican.....*checking* hey wait a minute...there is no return flight guess the good side ...no more shovelling snow

Should I simply forget English on the trial date and plead guilty?

Your understanding of your native tongue is the main concern for the court. They can put on the biggest horse and pony show, but if you don't fully understand even one word the whole thing gets tossed. Fortunately, we do allow accused people to stand up to the charges, which need ...

Where is that whistling and shouting emoticon????? Good Job.

Yep. I don't claim to know anything about the device or the manual, so if the procedure she used is different, the evidence from the device should be excluded. However... if I were to take a guess... a zero-velocity fixed distance test seems to be what the officer did do... but I don't know for sure.

No the officer testified she did only the ...

If the officer actually talks to you he'll know you haven't been drinking. Hard to miss booze on the breath.......

Not fact but, with the signed ownership the car is no longer your relatives. This was a trade for services. The other person know of this, however without a lot of paperwork it's hard to prove. The "other" guy did not register it under his name so that leaves your relative to explain the situation to all involved. He may have to get a copy of the ...

The appeal it's self usually has to do with the trial.....and to launch a full appeal you need the transcripts. You don't need the transcripts to file the appeal but you will need them later.

If the cop shows up and sees that I'm pleading guilty in an attempt to lower the fine and the charge, could he try to influence the prosecutor otherwise?

In fact, could prosecutor increase charge and fine because of such notes?

Officers have been known to "suggest" a sentence or offer their opinion of the accused.

You could get a defective ticket, but I doubt it. However, it is your paint job....

diehard wrote:Can prosecutor add charges if he reads the cop's notes?

For example, the copy may have written in notes that I was following too closely another car before not obeying stop sign.

Am I at risk at getting a second conviction if prosecutors sees this?

Anyone?

Officers lay charges in the HTA, not the crown.

This is the best avenue of defence. If they have caused a delay of 15 months, then it should be accepted and the proceedings should be stayed.

Smells like someone is prepping his 11B arguments...

I was wondering how the courts know people will be speeding in 2010??? JK

Not to get into my case any further but I'll literally only had a beer or two over a period of 4 hours. I know I was fine... I truly believe that that apple fritter at tim hortons actually might have gave a false positive. Anyhow, I appreciate your input on the licence screw up.

Thanks.

If you get a lawyer to run with this defense you will be ...

Thanks! That was what I was thinking.. I have a right to atleast see these documents, even if it's at the courthouse.

However when my court date comes, I'll make my argument that the crown has not notified me or given any notice regarding these documents which I requested in my disclosure letter (inadequate disclosure). Shall I print out copies ...

Any advice so I can challenge the officer's testimony that I was the ONLY car on the road? Time of ticket 14:11, mid June. What day of the week??? If you get your hands on a Radar manual it should mention in there that large targets are easier to get a reading on then smaller ones. However, if you have representation then it would be better to let ...

If the offense (failure to wear seatbelt) occurred 1km away from where the ticket says it did. Is that relevant ?

The officer observed me without my seatbelt at an intersection, I then put it on and he followed me to my house (1km away) and wrote the ticket with the offense occurring on my street.

Not a big one, it won't get the charge ...

so i had my day in court. I got there about 25 minutes late :evil: Try finding that court house, then a place to park with all that construction... who woulda thought it was inside the mall. Anyway....
