But that doesn't say 'for offences committed by drivers of motor vehicles'.

Re: Speeding 75KM/H in 50 KM/H zone

I would suggest your utterance about going 10 km/hr over the speed limit is going to sink you. Yes, you can hold a voir dire but these type of comments are almost exclusively admitted.

I do think you got screwed by having the adjournment count against you though.

Re: Failing to stop for a School Bus

But unlikely it would be that long. After 30 days the police need a summons which is much more work. If you last 30-40 days you're likely to be OK.

Re: Failing to stop for a School Bus

I would suspect that your contrition by stopping and apologising would prevent the bus driver from making a formal complaint. They are rightly very protective of their wards but hopefully understand that everyone makes mistakes.

" that JPs really don't care what police officers do"

That is NOT what I said. But you have my point of view so no need to flog a dead horse.

Re: Speeding and Follow Too Closely

I think you hit the nail on the head Zatota with your last sentence. Your issue is with the actions of the officer and if so then it is your right to make a complaint about him. But the JP won't care and will shut you down very very quickly which is only going to make you pissed off with life. I've seen it so many times. The court is only ...

Re: Appeal Red light conviction

The issue is the date that the notes were made. The error from disclosure is that the date wasn't included, but there would have been a date. What sometimes happens is an officer writes the date at the start of the shift and then makes pages of notes. My best practice was to photocopy the date page and then attach it to the actual incident notes ...

Re: Appeal Red light conviction

I'm still confused as to what you are going to be claiming was the JP's error in law. Is it just that the officer may have been speeding and therefore all the evidence should be thrown out ? This is an argument that only comes into play for the most egregious breeches such as an unauthorised search of a dwelling or wiretap.

I think this is not ...

But you will be pitting google maps and a commercial dash cam against a law enforcement radar or laser speed measuring device. I don't anticipate a good outcome for you, I'm afraid.

Re: Missing Set Fine - Missing Total Payable

HUGELY uncommon. You would have had to do something to make yourself very memorable indeed. OTD is bang on that the officer may well have shredded the ticket already which does leave you in the lurch a wee bit but is better than having the ticket correct !
