Ontario Highway Traffic Act

It doesn't sound like any of the mistakes are fatal errors, particularly if the mistakes are on the accident report instead of the ticket. Regardless, the Crown is usually pretty quick to offer a plea deal to a lesser offence for careless charges, especially for minor accidents. I'd request a first attendance meeting and see what they offer. You ...

I'd suggest simply speaking with the Crown. The officer can't reduce the ticket any further once it's been issued, so there's not much he can do to help you at this point. Typically you can make deals on the day of your trial, just seek out a Crown right at the start of the day.

There is a fair bit of case law surrounding random stops and their legality. Simon or someone more knowledgeable with case law may correct me, but to the best of my knowledge Courts have typically allowed them. While they violate your charter right not to be arbitrarily stopped or detained, the first section of the charter also states there may ...

Agreed. It looks like you're just trying to overwhelm the prosecutor with bogus disclosure requests. Stick to what you need.

As for the tilt sensor, there is no requirement for such a device. IF there was any error due to the slope, it's still in your favour as I explained earlier. In essence you'd be arguing you were going FASTER then the officer ...

Unfortunately even if your intentions were good, it does not exempt you from speeding. While licence plates are great, even if you had called in a general description and location, that could be enough for the police to locate the vehicle, particularly on the 401 at night. And in future, you can call 911 for drunk drivers.

Any concerns with how ...

I do have one more question: is it possible for me to apply for costs, or am I just expected to cut my losses? I had to take two days off work for this and I burned a lot of fuel travelling to and from the courthouse. Also the registered letters were quite expensive. I just think it's fair, because if you are convicted you have to pay court costs ...

Are you certain a conviction would increase your insurance rates? It should be considered a minor conviction, which many providers will overlook assuming it's your only ticket.

It's a bit of a difficult charge to fight since it's hard to justify not having your licence with you. I don't think your particular circumstances would be accepted by the ...

Cambridge OPP are a traffic branch, so they're pretty good about attending Court. Since your ticket was only reduced by 1, there's probably a reasonable chance they may offer a further reduction.

I think you have a very good chance of getting the charge withdrawn if you go to Court since it's incorrect.

-Considering the 1994 date of the lasers owners manual,,,wouldn't requesting the Lasers date of manufacture to confirm it's also a 1994 be reasonable?
I would say no. As long as the manual provided is the same as for the model used, date of manufacture is irrelevant.

Pushing a button and aiming at a stationary object would show it's working but ...

Just one point of clarification, Marksmen 20-20 is a laser (or lidar) device, not radar, and they are still in use. Quite simply, newer devices can take some time to be approved for use, and since the devices are expensive police services will use them until they fall apart.

will insurance have access to this conviction?

Possibly. The MTO likely generated an Ontario licence number for your boyfriend to keep track of his initial seven day suspension. I believe they also generate Ontario licence numbers to keep track of convictions for out of Province drivers. So while your boyfriend doesn't physically have an Ontario ...

If it's Toronto Police, I'd guess 3206 is the cruiser number. 32 is the Division number (looks like 32 division according to your map) and 06 is the cruiser/zone number.
1 pass is probably short for passenger, and is referring to the fact he has another officer in the cruiser with him.
And FTS definitely is fail to stop.

Thanks for the reply!

I'm guessing I can't use the gun going on a downward slope as a reason for an inaccurate reading, even if its in my favour?

What do you think my options are here. I'm feeling like I could maybe get disclosure on the notes being typed, as well as more info about the calibration of the device and how its supposed to be used ...

Personally I think the appropriate charge would be disobey sign. It sounds like the turn itself was proper, just that you disobeyed a sign prohibiting such actions during a certain hour.

I think arguing your clock was off wouldn't be the greatest defence, especially if you intentionally set it 10 minutes ahead.
