Re: Novice Driver B.A.C Above Zero Provincial

Plus the fact there is no way you drank 1.5 beers, didn't drink anything for an hour (plus the time it takes to exit the stadium and get to where you were stopped) and blew over 0.05. Unless they were very massive beers or super strength.

Re: Officer claimed I drove through stop sign..dashcam

Wow. What a chicken *EDIT* charge. It's stuff like this that turns people against the police. Did you stop completely ? I don't think so but near as dammit.

Re: Potential carless driving charge

Careless is often laid in rear end collisions. I have always disagreed with that as the correct charge is normally Fail to Turn Out to Avoid Collision. By laying the Careless the hope is that people will bargain to the Fail to Turn Out and prevent a trial whereas if it was laid in the first place then there would be no incentive to make a deal ...

Re: Disobey Sign 182 (2) - Mississauga - turn and no turn si

The right turn sign is a lane sign referring to a lane that is clearly blocked off. Not a hope a JP will buy that.

Re: Laser/Radar gun reset between tickets?

You are alleging that a police officer with a really good job and pension would risk it all just to get you on a ticket. Possible ? Yes. Likely ? No. They cannot prove that it was your car they got in the beam but they will testify to that effect and, absent any evidence the contrary, the judge will accept it.

An officer giving a reduced speed is ...

Re: $150 for being 6 mins late

Grace periods are tough. If 6 minutes is a grace period then what about 7 ? If 7 is ok then what about 8 ?

Re: Speeding ticket, paralegal plead guilty, filling appeal?

No, an appeal is against a error in law committed at the trial. The fact that your representative did a poor job is between you and them.

Re: Vehicle Decal (wording)

How about Community Patrol instead of using Response as presumably you aren't responding as opposed to patrolling.
