Re: disobey no left turn sign

At this point just wait until the day. The prosecutor will have a stream of people waiting to see them. There will be many deals being made as there is no way they could run trails for the number of people on the docket.

Re: Possible Logic Win?

Exactly. They will testify that they have been trained. They don't necessarily need to prove that. The judge can choose to believe them or not as they do with all other evidence. If you have grounds to believe he is lying then you get to attack him in cross examination.

Re: Possible Logic Win?

The testimony is that he attended a course and was certified in the use of the radar. He has 'foundation' because he was there for the course knows he passed it and will testify that he did his checks. And he doesn't need to be an expert - that's the instructor who you would have to call as a witness.

You are asking a judge to basically throw out ...

Re: Insurance claims I was in an accident?

Did you contact your insurers through a number that you found yourself or did you just call the number that they gave you. This does not sound like a professional way to do business and it could be that it is scam.

I would call your insurance using a phone number on your insurance documents and check that they have a record of this. If it is them ...

Re: 73 on 50..need advice on trial

The first ticket won't affect your insurance too much. By pleading not guilty and going to trial you are basically going all-in; you'll either be found not guilty or guilty and the ticket will be ratcheted up to the full amount. Do you have any reason to think you might have an avenue to be found not guilty ? You will want to get disclosure and ...

....and I would suggest that by posting such clear details of your case on an open forum there is a good chance that it could be known you speak English. Tread carefully.

Re: Failure to stop. 136(1)(b)

Might as well ask for a dismissal. Say that you've done your bit by asking for disclosure and that, had you received it, you would have been ready to proceed with a trial. By the crown not providing it you are now disadvantaged due to your relocation. Unlikely it will work but it won't if you don't ask.

It's not uncommon to carry both devices. One is vehicle mounted and used while driving. The other is handheld and therefore used when parked.

Re: 149 in 100 zone + no valid licence plate sticker

Speed limits not set by scientific data are an affront to Liberty as defined within the Constitution :)

Many roads have critical curve speed well above posted limits.(URL)

Re: 139 in 90 reduced from 140/141, Error in Officer Notes

There are many shades of blue and the spectrum of light blue comes very close to grey. This will not assist you. The officer will presumably testify that the vehicle he pulled over was the vehicle that the radar clocked.
