Yes, but a copy of that should be included in my disclosure?

Thanks for the help!

Could I not just request a trial and present the unsigned ticket then? I'm assuming this was not recommended because I would be running the risk of the prosecutor realizing the ticket is unsigned and have the officer issue me another ticket with the 6 month limitation period?

Thoughts on this? Thanks for the support

Hi There,

If an individual were to receive a hand written ticket from an officer, and the officer fails to sign it, is this a fatal error?

If so, is it better to plead not guilty or do nothing?

Thank you

I am assuming this is a long shot...

If an officer appears to make an error on the total payable fine, can it be cause for it to be invalid. For example, if the total payable fine were $110.00 but the officer put $110.60, is there any chance of having the ticket withdrawn?

2 points that come to mind:

1) The officer can simply say it is a zero ...

Thanks for the advice, already on top of that. Plate has been installed and pics taken. While I agree with what you are saying, the point I am trying to make is ride programs are legal for the reasons which you quoted, however, police cannot just set up random checkpoints to search for any HTA violations.

While I agree with what you are saying ...

In order to give you proper advice I would need to know:

1) The specific charges (how much you were speeding by)
2) Previous driving convictions

FYI...you will be able to meet with the prosecutor before your trial (if you choose to proceed this way) to discuss an early resolution.

As you stated you are from out of town, however, if your charges ...

I can see the argument from the other side. The reason I am having such a hard time with accepting the charge is because of the way I was detained. To me, by the officer failing to tell me he was conducting a ride checkpoint, and failing to ask if I have had anything to drink was not right.

As I stated, the officer pointed to my front plate as I ...

This is not a general police checkpoint. It is a RIDE program. The primary aim is not to target people for driving offences, it is to remove drunk drivers for the road. There is a reason the whole idea of ride checks went to the supreme court of Canada, it is a violation of the charter. However, it was ruled that this infringement on citizens is ...

Yes, argyll, however, it is perfectly legal to ask police services to remove non-conviction records. They do not have too, but they may chose too.

Therefore, could I not contact the police service and ask for the record to be destroyed, just as I could if I called to complain about a loud party on my block?

Thank you Stanton.

There are a few points I wish to state.

In the case of R. v. Mellenthin, [1992] 3 S.C.R. 615, it is stated that "The primary aim of check stop programs, which result in the arbitrary detention of motorists, is to check for sobriety, licences, ownership, insurance and the mechanical fitness of cars"

I do not see how a licence ...

Met with a different prosecutor. Explained the situation to him and said if the charge is not withdrawn I am prepared to file for an 11 (b). He withdrew the charge

Thank you OPS Copper. Is it possible to have this information removed, as it would be to ask a police service to remove a non-conviction record?

Thank you

Can police issue a ticket for a non-drinking related offence in a ride program?

I was issued a ticket for no front plate while going through a ride program.

It is my understanding that the SCC ruled that ride programs are justified in that the removal of freedom of the person is acceptable because of the removal of impaired drivers from the road ...

So this morning I come up to what appears to be a ride program. As the officer waves me up to him, he says "why is your front plate in your dash?" I asked him what the reason for stopping me was and all he said was please pull to the side.

The officer then approached me and asked for my DL INS and OWN. I provided him with all 3 documents and he ...

Do acquitted charges remain on ones record? I have received 7 tickets since I began driving, however, with the help of this site and other people I have managed to have 6 of the 7 withdrawn. When I am pulled over by police, can they see that I have been charged 7 times?

Will these charges always exist in the system even though I have been deemed ...

FYI...my vehicle is insured under a policy of automobile insurance....

Yes, my name and address are on the slip and it is not expired.

ynotp, what you are talking about I believe would apply if the officer was giving me a ticket for failure to have insurance, if the car I was driving was not insured, that would be the appropriate ticket. However, the ticket i received is not for driving without insurance, it is ...

According to this section...

Operator to carry insurance card
3. (1) An operator of a motor vehicle on a highway shall have in the motor vehicle at all times,
(a) an insurance card for the motor vehicle; or
(b) an insurance card evidencing that the operator is insured under a contract of automobile insurance,
and the operator shall surrender the ...

Thank you all again,

As per what iFyy55 said, I did inform the prosecutor of everything I have disclosed to you guys. Why would he not withdraw the charge as it appears I am correct?
He did say to me that there is no lesser charge to offer you - could this be why he wants to proceed to trial, because he has nothing to lose?

I just want to make ...

Thank you for your help guys..

The problem is that I had actually purchased the new vehicle a month before I started driving it. I found a good deal and the car just sat in my garage for a month so I did not bother to put insurance on it (However, I did register the car). I was in the process of tying to selling my other car at this time. However ...

Thank you viper, do you know where I can find the law on this?

Ok, I will break this down step by step

1) On march 25th 2013 I was pulled over by a police officer. I was turning into a survey to go to a friends house. At this time I did notice a police cruiser in the distance but thought nothing of it.

When the officer approached me he said it looks like your trying to evade the police, where are you going ...
