Re: Nabbed on the 400 So here's my afternoon in court.
Got to court early.
The police officer arrived there soon after.
Spoke to prosecutor:
She said, are you looking for a deal?
I said, I'm open to suggestions.
She wrote down 120 in 100. $90 (plus cost and surcharge $115) 3…
Re: Nabbed on the 400 Further thoughts: these notes seem like they were written after, perhaps well after the event. How else could the test at the end of the shift be inserted before the time of offense. Is it common or typical practice to note your qualifications in your not…
Re: Nabbed on the 400 Heres the page of the officers notes that relates to my charge:

The first line I cant figure out what the numbers refer too.
Lp.dl R2200 40776 ?0626 ????
The next line indicates the Lidar unit?
OPP Lidar ??-???? Atlanta
The next to lines ar…
Re: Nabbed on the 400 So the prosecutors office finally sent disclosure at 9:17, today Tuesday, January 07, 2014– a day before my scheduled trail. It is, not surprisingly, incomplete. The time stamp indicates they have had it since Nov. 1/2013. It also says it was…
Re: Careless driving summons I wouldn't be mentioning the foggy windshield. The obvious follow up question would be:why didn't you pull over if you couldn't see? Or why did you start driving with the windshield in an unsafe condition. Hopefully a moderator will chime in, they have a …
Re: Careless driving summons Wow, sounds completely bogus. I had a similar experience at a RIDE program. The officer had his hand up and was wearing a black glove -- I though he was waving me through, which sometimes happens. I had to slam on my brakes, but I was never charged with c…
Re: Failing to move to the right for emergency vehicle Wow, it sounds really fishy. However, there examples of owners being charged with failure to stop for school buses without actually being pulled over. Fine, but no points. Hopefully, some more knowledgable posters will chime in.

Re: Reduced from 40 over to disobey sign Sounds like good deal -- hope I'm that lucky next week. Do you have to reply to the offer? Maybe if they think you're going to take it, the officer might not show up. Sounds like either way it's worth the trip.
Re: Nabbed on the 400 Thanks for all the help. I was wondering if I should show up with any case law, to bolster my request for dismissal due to missing, inadequate, or in-timely disclosure?
Re: Nabbed on the 400 Court date is Jan. 8, 2014. Requested disclosure on Oct. 29, 2013. Sent express post requiring a signature upon receipt. Tracked the request, it was signed for on Oct. 31, 2013. Have tried to follow up on phone today -- no one in office, so I left a messa…
Re: 40 over on the 401 near chatham kent I haven't fought one in Chatam, but I had a similar experience in Barrie. Check Neo's post. That and others provide a great deal of useful information. I'm currently waiting for disclosure. http://www.ticketcombat.com/ is very helpful.
Re: Nabbed on the 400 Thanks for the reply iFly55. I'll keep the GPS and terrain for cross examination or second disclosure request. It may not be necessary for the crown's case, but, until I at least see the officer's notes, it's crucial to my defense. Unless LIDAR can bend o…
Re: Nabbed on the 400 I received my trial notice and am about to send my disclosure request. Would it be a good idea to ask for GPS coordinates and a description of the terrain where the alleged offense took place and where he pulled me over. The group of cars I was in was com…
Re: Nabbed on the 400, a couple more questions Thanks for the quick reply, Decatur.
So that would mean I have to get the reply to them by August 7.
There was no roadside deduction.
My driving record is pretty clean. Maybe 5 tickets in 40 years.
What about hiring one of those paralegal services?
If I …
Nabbed on the 400 This is a great and very informative site! Here's my particular scenario: I was in a group of cars coming over the crest of a hill on the 400 near Inisfill. I don't think I was the fastest vehicle. I saw the OPP cruiser immediately and, like everyone else…
