Re: Want to take the lesser plea after setting a court date

Big gamble indeed. It's a slam dunk trial so there's very little incentive for them to be accommodating. Worth a shot though.

I did and when I was an instructor at police college I taught that to all recruits.

Re: 119 in 90 zone, advice please

I think you need to obtain disclosure so you can see the evidence against you. But you have to play your part in getting that. They are clear that they don't mail it and you have failed to provide them with the required phone number.

Re: Fail to stop at red light for right turn, got disclosure

You said you made the turn in safety so why would you think there could be a Dangerous Driving charge out there.

Yes in theory police have 6 months to lay a charge but in reality unless it's something very serious they won't bother. If I got a late filing notice or fatal error back from the justice I'd just turf it and move on with my day.

You are sending two documents to two different offices. The Crown won't have your phone number from the election form so will be able to say they couldn't contact you.

Re: Got pulled over for driving a rental car. Legal?

I highly recommend everybody have a dashcam and record ALL interactions with police because most of the time the courts will always side with an officers testimony over an accused. If they are doing their job correctly, then they have nothing to worry about.

Kind of the same about people talking to the police. If you're doing nothing wrong then ...

Re: Got pulled over for driving a rental car. Legal?

Nope. You choose to drive, you agree to play by the rules.

I'm interested, do you have friends record your interaction with bank tellers ? Waiters in restaurants ? What made you choose to have someone record this interaction with a professional doing their job.

Serious question.

Re: 167km/h, and perform race in an 80 zone.

If it's a choice between a conviction in court or the plea deal then obviously the plea deal looks good but something isn't right.

Section 172 reads:

"Racing, stunts, etc., prohibited
172. (1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a highway in a race or contest, while performing a stunt or on a bet or wager. 2007, c. 13, s. 21.

Re: Radar

The radar will give a reading for the faster vehicle and the officer's eyes will tell him or her which vehicle is moving faster.

Re: No validated permit HTA (7) (1) (a)

Section (7)(1)(a) says the vehicle has to have a valid permit - which it did. Section 7(5) on the other hand says it has to be carried. The charge section is wrong.

I thought I heard somewhere that the sticker on the registration was a nice to have these days. Could be wrong but you might want to check.

Re: Failure To Obey Officer Directing Traffic Sitting In Car

Charge should have been Sec 159. I don't believe the elements of Sec 134 are made out as you describe it.

Re: Failure to Stop at Red Light

OP. That is a pretty miserable ticket and yes people drive like that all the time. The officer is wrong about the stunt driving, that applies when you gun it as soon as the lights turn green to beat the traffic that is going straight ahead opposite you.

If it was 144(18) I don't think that applies to you as it talks about entering the ...
