Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Unlike some other Provinces and States, its NOT illegal in Ontario to pass on a solid yellow line. The centre lines on roadways are considered more for reference and are not legally enforceable. There are some laws that limit where you can pass (i.e. no passing within 30 meters of a bridge, tunnel or railway crossing), but its otherwise lawful ...

so if they issue the committal warrant , does the police come to your home to get you or if you are stopped again
they take you ??

Either is possible. Once a warrant has been issued police can arrest you at any time.

I'd strongly suggest attending Court, talking with the Crown and requesting leniency from the JP during sentencing. You may be ...

Not sure how an error on the summons would help you fight it in Court. It's not like a regular ticket, where certain errors are fatal and can cause the charge to be thrown out.

The officer at your house most likely is trying to issue you a corrective summons, with the correct Court date on it. I'd suggest attending on the correct date and try for ...

Id disagree with you on a few points.

You suggest the OP was arbitrarily detained which I dont believe is the case. Arbitrary detention is in essence a fishing expedition, a random stop where there is no evidence of an offence. I think even the OP understood (if not directly told) that the officer was investigating the fact he was observed talking ...

The officer probably genuinely believed you were talking on a cell phone. You have to keep in mind many people stopped by the police arent honest and will give every excuse under the sun to get out of a ticket.

In terms of Court, its not your job to prove you werent on a cell phone, but rather the Crowns job to prove that you were. While theres ...

I agree with your wife. From what I can see with Street View, Niagara Street starts on the far side of the intersection. You'd be proceeding through the intersection on a red, making it illegal.

Not sure if first initial only constitutes a fatal error, but Ontario convictions DO appear on New York and Michigan licences.

Failing to stop for a red light is what's known as an absolute liability offence. Basically, the Court will only really be interested in whether you stopped or not, not the reason why. A mechanical defect is not a defence in my opinion for such an offence. Even if such the Court were to accept it as a defence, you would need some very strong ...

While the article states that certain activities like eating or adjusting the radio can be dangerous, it doesn't actually state that they're illegal. You could possible be charged with careless, but there would have to be some evidence supporting this (i.e., weaving in and out of lanes cause you have both hands on your sandwich instead of the ...

While parking rules can vary from town to town, Ive never heard of accessible parking permits granting carte blanche. I believe they simply entitle you to park in designated accessible parking spots.

Typically when a careless driving charge is laid instead of follow too close, its due to a lack of evidence to support the latter charge. The Courts have ruled, simply striking a car from behind is insufficient evidence for a conviction. There needs to be some type of evidence showing that the driver wasnt leaving sufficient room above and beyond ...

No, a piece of paper is not considered a hand held electronic device.

If the Court believes you, that should certainly be sufficient to beat the charge.

I'd certainly talk with the Crown about a plea deal, hopefully get one or more of the charges dropped in exchange for a plea. Just FYI, having a valid insurance card now isn't really relevant in Court, since the charge is for not having it at the time of the stop.

Yes, if the charge was filed too late, the Courts will not proceed with it.

Yes, they will obtain a full copy of the officer's notes prior to making any type of plea deal.
