Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Nope I doubt it because there would have been much eye-rolling from the judge, and a conviction.

Even if the device isn't listed for Canada the evidence would have to show it wasn't accurate. If someone wanted to lay a charge against the officer for using an unapproved device then that would be an entirely different matter.

It's not like a ...

If it's the last day of the month then they could just be stopping you to wish you a Happy Birthday.........or a ticket

I think you dodged one

so really, if "everyone" who had a ticket , challenged it, the system would fall flat on its face

jsherk is right, they do not "have to" offer you any kind of deal, but they always do, the reason is, they do not want to deal with the possibility of you getting off on a technicality and they prefer a guaranteed win over a "most likely" win ...

Yes, it will be one or the other.

I doubt you will be offered any plea deal. I certainly know my Crowns wouldn't have and the chances of him not turning up are almost nil. An officer might miss a simple ticket and will get spanked for it but not for a ticket like this.

77 over on a highway would be taken as very serious but 77 over on a road that warrants a 40 km/her limit is not ...

Someone might be along to help but otherwise you could call the agency that gave you the receipt and hopefully they would be able to help you.

If you kept your posts on topic they might actually contribute to the conversation.

You've gone from too many parking permits, to the choice of police vehicle, to Vern Whit's appointment to the Senate, to insurance company scams.

Wow, take a breath.

If the legal arguments you have made are as rambling and hard to understand as your post I can see the police/court's confusion.

Ah right, I was writing them out by hand.

It does seem like a waste of everyone's time. What we used to do was issue the ticket and told the driver that if they brought the permit with updated address to the station within 48 hours then the ticket wouldn't be filed. Seemed to work well.

It depends on the courthouse. My main courthouse was Walkerton and often the Crown would ask me to speed to the driver and discuss options which I'd then bring back to him for the ultimate decision. One person's experience is not necessarily relevant to all.

Personally I think the boating laws should be the same as on land. You can't get an impaired on a bicycle so why should you get an impaired in a kayak ? Motorised boat ? Absolutely.

Just because you objected would not mean that the officer couldn't use them, just that the judge would then make a ruling on your objection and bearing in mind officer's notes are used in every trial in the country the chances of the justice siding with you are pretty small to say the least.

Surely the justice won't miss such a glaring error. I'd be very surprised if you heard anything about this again.
