Re: 168 in 80 on Hwy 118 Muskoka: Paralegal/Lawyer Refereral

Michelle Scott of Scott Paralegal, in Huntsville has some good fight in her.
I've already got a paralegal. I just wanted to discuss with some of the previous posters in the comments to provide some ongoing fodder for discussion.
Cheers,

And kudos to you for coming back with info. Lots of people post the issue and then disappear so we never know ...

Re: Careless Driving Charge

Sadly this is correct. The prosecutor will almost certainly offer you a lesser offence.

Re: Tailgate Entrapment! help

It could also be that the marked cruiser had radar and got a reading as it was coming towards you. Your defence of feeling that your life was in danger will not fly. If you were being shot at, or had been rammed maybe but a car that had no negative Intel attached to it will not be accepted. You should have pulled over or at the least turned off the ...

Re: little in the way of disclosure

Disclosure means sharing what evidence the crown has. You can't go asking specific questions which are not included. The time to do that is in cross.

100%. The consequences of losing at trial are very significant and you are clutching at straws

Re: 2 tickets, 2 different courthouses. Cop says Quota Syste

Just reread the original post. Clearly not a mistake on the copper's part if it did go as you said.

If your story is how it happened I'd definitely be taking it further because that is a ridiculous way to do enforcement.

Re: 2 tickets, 2 different courthouses. Cop says Quota Syste

Personally I'd be calling the crowns and saying you want to deal with them together. You're either in one jurisdiction or the other. Maybe the cop finished one ticket book after the first ticket and picked up a different one for the seconds in error. If he intentionally sent you to two different courts I'd file a complaint because that is nonsense.

Re: HELP!!! I am FREAKING OUT!

But if your licence was suspended then surely you were driving in Michigan immediately after the sentence. I think there will be little sympathy and your job will have to be that you just exercised poor judgement as opposed to a flagrant disregard for the law.

Re: little in the way of disclosure

I had one run in with a Freeman. Drunk in Public and was going to get a warning and a drive home but managed to talk himself into Drunk in Public, Resist Arrest, Mischief, Assault Police Officer. Found guilty on all.

Re: little in the way of disclosure

I would query the penultimate question. I doubt I could ever pick out the driver of a vehicle that I ticketed 6-9 months before if they were in a group. That's why we say we identified the driver by means of a photo drivers licence.

Re: Stunt and Speeding, potential for 11b?

The first thing is your roommate's mental health is the number one concern. Everything else is temporary. Do not let them drive. If they are that close to pulling into another vehicle then they must not be behind the wheel of a vehicle. It is fine to say that the other vehicle may not suffer much damage but the damage too the mental state of the ...

Unless the offence was something bad I would be very surprised if they bother to re-summons you. I would put it out of your mind

Re: Summons To Witness

The way insurance is assigned is laid out so I doubt a non conviction would alter the assigning of blame
