On the off chance you're not a troll comparing what happened to you with the Holocaust is shameful. Getting a traffic ticket and genocide is just a ridiculous thing to compare.

By your admission you didn't forget about your sticker, you actually knew you didn't have valid registration and just decided that everyone else should pay for the use of ...

"Filing of certificate of offence
4. A certificate of offence shall be filed in the office of the court as soon as is practicable, but no later than seven days after service of the offence notice or summons. 2009, c. 33, Sched. 4, s. 1 (4)."

I don't know if that's an automatic dismissal though.

I feel if he had a soul he could of told me all the rules and I would of never did this again and perhaps he could of suggested we drive over to my place 3 minutes away to fix the problem by getting my papers into my wallet from my room and giving me a few hours to come back to meet him at the station showing I went to get new sticker. NOPE ...

You don't have to disclose anything. The burden of proof in a trial lies with the Crown.

Plus when I pull someone over I don't just affect that driver but everyone else on the road who sees the flashing lights. I live in the UK now and almost all enforcement is by camera and people see the ticket in the mail simply as a cost of doing business.

P.S.: In this case, yes! Some neighbours saw me measuring the street and came over to chat, and it turns out she monitors the mailboxes (also on the private street), and has threatened to give people tickets while they were getting their mail.

Then they should be filing a complaint against her.

A fire route needs to be clear in case of an ...

If you are inside for 5 minutes then you are parked. Basically if you aren't around your vehicle then you are not actively engaged in loading.

PS. Vulture ? You mean the person who helps to keep traffic flowing and routes open for emergency vehicles. They came across your car unattended and did their job. If you did not see them then how can they ...

As quick as that !

You need your licence to drive. An officer might show discretion but then again we've heard every excuse in the book. Just the luck of the draw which copper you might get.

If you got a ticket it would be an offence and would count against your insurance.

Simple answer is don't drive until you get a new one.

The copy of the form that goes to the ministry (and later the insurance company) has codes on it where the officer should have indicated it was a Fail to Remain. Your copy won't show those. Assuming it all happened as you say this should have no impact on your insurance and all your expenses should be covered. There is no need for a lawyer because ...

Right but there are no sanctions given until service has been made.

Service of notice of licence suspension
52. (1) Where a persons drivers licence is suspended, notice of the suspension is sufficiently given if delivered personally or,

(a) in the case of a suspension under section 41 or 42, sent by registered mail addressed to the person to whom the licence was issued at the latest current address of the person ...

They will mail a letter of suspension to the address on file with the MTO. The suspension then comes into effect a certain number of days after that. It's referred to as 'deemed service'.

I'm not sure it's going to be that simple. If the actual certificate of offence isn't signed then that would be one thing. I don't think not having a signature on the Offence Notice is necessarily a slam dunk. It may be but the court may not see it that way. The notice is to advise you of the charge, which it does even without the signature.

I stand corrected. I read it the same as jsherk. I always pulled the Offence Notice off and signed both parts separately.

I don't believe that is correct. The portion issued to the driver does not need a signature. The part sent to the court does.

In fact the signature box says that it is certifying that the officer served the driver so it shouldn't be signed until the offence notice has been issued.

Assuming that this played out as the OP says, this is exactly the reason people hate the police. Makes me so angry that trained investigators waste their time writing ludicrous tickets like this one. Everyone does 15-18 over the limit. Traffic enforcement should revolve around aggressive driving not just a few kilometres over the speed limit.

It ...

It'll be tough. The officer will be able to speak to extensive driving experience and that he believed he was going well over 50 and you were pulling away. Without your taking the stand and saying you weren't speeding that's going to be pretty compelling evidence. He doesn't need to provide evidence of a particular speed, just that you were going ...

But their attempts at service will become more robust the closer to the 6 months. This won't go away. Do you want a copper to turn up at your work with a ticket ?

I agree with jsherk. These decisions relate to Criminal matters. I don't see a change in the current traffic ticket court timelines.

" A new framework is therefore required for applying s. 11 (b). This framework is intended to focus the s. 11 (b) analysis on the issues that matter and encourage all participants in the criminal justice system to cooperate in achieving reasonably prompt justice, with a view to fulfilling s. 11 (b)s important objectives."

Note CRIMINAL justice ...

I'm not an expert on such matters but I think there is a lot for you to do. I suspect you could have the paralegal's licence to practice taken away as he has no authority to plead guilty for you without instruction. Things like having a case reopened have strict time limits so you don't want to sit on this one.

I'd be having a conversation at ...

It has to be personal service. They can mail suspension notices but not summonses.

And yes, you can not open the door, or open it and refuse to identify yourself and then the police can get a warrant and deal with you at the time of likely greatest inconvenience and you will get zero leeway from police or Crown. Your choice.

Personally if I was in your situation I would file two motions:

1. 11B under the charter for unreasonable delay
2. section 7 under the charter, failure to provide disclosure

With these two motions it would be extremely hard to believe that crown would continue to proceed, they don't have the time to deal with this much headache and would simply ...

I's ask your paralegal for the case. People here will be interested.

avoiding SERVICE WOULD BE IF YOU FAILED TO RETURN MESSAGES LEFT FOR YOU TO CALL THEM, DIDN'T ANSWER THE DOOR WHEN YOU WERE HOME, etc (oops hit caps lock - sorry).

All he has to say is he saw a car not stop, he pulled over that car, he id'd the driver through photo id and that's it. Even if he got the colour wrong on your car it wouldn't get his testimony thrown out.

If they feel that you are avoiding service they can apply for a warrant. The chance was they wouldn't bother trying to re-serve but if they are then it's not going to go away. It will have a task due date at the station and someone's supervisor is going to lean on them to get you served.

Depends on the Crown but average to good.

I agree
