Ontario Highway Traffic Act

I think that, with regards to the issues you have posted already, OPS Copper and Radar Identified have (rather bluntly) already addressed them and I don't have anything to add. Also, the missing 'R' is not enough of an issue to build a defence around.

The only other thing I can think to suggest, if you are of the opinion that you weren't acually ...

I have a few issues with the situation. First, I was driving home from working the night shift (got off at 7). Second, there was ideal weather and there was very little traffic (but the traffic was going around 70). Next, I don't believe the officer had a radar gun, I believe he used his speedometer. Lastly, I felt pressured by the officer to ...

Wrong track I think, if your suggesting one mistake might have led to another without their being a direct and articulable link between the two issues. Every police officer makes mistakes and I don't think the court will automatically accept that that fact means the rest of your ticket wasn't proper or correct.

The ticket should indicate whether it was reduced but that is not a fatal error.

The speed limit is the limit, not the minimum or average. It's an unfortunate situation, since you weren't driving at that speed for long, but I don't think it's unwarranted. That's my opinion.

You can hire someone at any point in the process. It really depends on how comfortable you are with the process and with representing yourself.

I agree that those aren't the problem people, but I've dealt with plenty of Outlaw Bikers who flout the noise laws with their Harley's and an audiometer would be good for them.

I like it! They're going to use sound meters so it takes away the ambiguity that we have in the HTA where it's totally up to the officer's discretion. Why leave it to discretion when you have the technology to measure it accurately.

Yes, it's a Provincial Offences Act Probation Order. It's not common but I've seen it used before. Though usually it was in order to place specific terms on someone, like "Not to occupy the driver's seat of a motor vehicle" or "Obey a curfew of...", where the crown felt those terms were necessary to keep the person from committing the same or ...

If the video evidence contradicts the charge that was laid, the ticket will be withdrawn and it is unlikely they will bother laying another information for the correct charge.

Also, none of the errors on the ticket sound fatal. If you take it to trial the prosecutor can request that they be amended. However, if it is not a trial situation (i.e. a ...

The officer can either retain the permit until the completion of court proceedings or return it to the MTO (that's what I always did, that way you're not responsible for it). If it has been returned to the MTO it has been canceled. If it is held until the completion of the court proceedings a determination would be made after that. Cancellation is ...

No MVC report = non reportable collision, therefore, no ticket. That's just lazy to claim it is over $1000 for the purpose of the ticket but under so you don't have to complete and MVC.

There are some good articles on www.ontarioticket.com and on this forum that explain the whole process.

I don't want to give you specific legal advice on your situation. If it were me I would probably want to see the disclosure and weigh my options and perhaps seek a plea. I'm not a fan of fighting everything just out of principle,i especially if you acknowledge fault. It's a waste of the courts time and it doesn't allow people to accept ...
