Re: Speeding conviction appeal

Well you clearly have the argument fixed in your head. It's a shame I'm out of the country because I'd enjoy watching the trial. Police officers routinely make speed estimations followed by radar lock very quickly and with remarkable accuracy due to practice. If a vehicle crests a hill I could guesstimate the speed and get a lock in time to see the ...

Re: Speeding conviction appeal

V = d/t

D = 25m *
T = 2 s **

V = 25/2 = 12.5m/s or 45km/hr

The officer's statements contradict the radar gun reading.

* officer claimed visual estimation started at 75 metre and ended with a radar lock at 50 metres.

** officer claimed visual estimation took 2 seconds and then she obtained radar reading which isn't instantaneous.

So ...

Re: Cop Never Filed Ticket in System

I'm as confused as jsherk. What is this $180 fine you talk about ? You are issued the 3 day suspension roadside, that goes to the MTO and that's it. No conviction, no fine.....

If Service Ontario knows about it the the paperwork was forwarded.

Re: Speeding conviction appeal

If the courts don't agree with you then you'd better have the wallet to go to the Supreme Court.

Your timings don't make sense. Car is seen to be exceeding the limit. Courts have held that exact estimate is not needed. Button is pushed, reading obtained. You don't have to be the only car in the beam, there is no aiming required (if she's running ...

Re: Speeding conviction appeal

If it was radar as opposed to lidar then there is no aiming involved. She sees your car and hits a button and gets a reading.

Re: Can I still get charged by OPP?

He can still charge you criminally but that's almost certainly not going to happen. Looks like he changed his mind.

Re: I did not apply front plate and get a ticket.

You picked an offence that is a bit of a slam dunk for the prosecutor. Either you had the plate on or not and you've admitted you didn't. Your only hope is if the officer doesn't turn up but that happens much less frequently than in days gone by.

The Act says:

Re: Failing to stop for a school bus G2 driver

Indeed. If a number of infractions occur and any one of them results in a Summons then all of the documents have to be Summonses. To the OP, are you sure your son didn't get another Summons for a non-ticketable offence that he hasn't told you about ?

No. It's still the same. If you cause intentional damage its Mischief, if you cause unintentional damage you can be sued civilly.

Re: car park "dings"

If intentional it's criminal mischief. If unintentional you could be sued civilly for the damage because it morally it isn't that you should 'maybe' fess up.....you bloody well should just like you'd hope someone to admit to it if they did the same to your property.
