Re: when fighting a ticket, can they do this...?

Although, I feel that since it is my right to fight the charge, having the prosecutor move to revert the charge to the original non-reduced amount violates my right to dispute / fight the ticket in the reduced amount...does it not?

The Crown has the ability to bring the speed back up to the original speed. Court of Appeal ruling 3-0 in favour of ...

Re: Driving while under suspension


Your friend was operating the vehicle. The operator of the vehicle had a condition which made him a hazard. You just took over to get to the rest stop where you could safely pull over while the driver dealt with his condition. If that's not due diligence, I don't know what is..

Pulling to the shoulder (where the persons "alledgedly changed ...

When did their leather notebook covers get so flimsy? My old one is so much more..."supple" than the new ones I just got. Hmph I feel cheated. :x

see cheaply made products everyday. pretty much everything has become cheaper only to not last as long. We used to buy solid core tennis balls for our dogs to use. The balls lasted about 3 months, well ...

Re: 2 Toronto Parking tickets in 2 minutes!!!

it could be 2 different bylaw infractions that the peson received?
(ie: parking at wrong time and park by fire hydrant, which would equal 2 different offences on the same spot)

another side note, books of tickets are numbered, but the numbers before and after that book could be signed out by another officer and still be sequential

Only the one officer has to go for trial. The one issuing the offence notice.

Unless it is an intecept situation where one officer has the evidence for the charge and the other officer in a different cruiser stops the vehicle.

Re: Follow too Closely by Aircraft

Sorry I'm not familiar with Lidar. The ground unit told me that the speed was calculated with a stopwatch between the white lines 500m apart.

Can you please clear up what time would be written on the ticket? 11:12am or 11:43am? If it's the earlier time, is there anyway to figure out when the actual officer pulled me over?
P.S. Is it your honour ...

Re: Follow too Closely by Aircraft

if it is like lidar intercept, the time that is used is by the officer that did the "clocking".

So essentially someone could commit an offence at 11:12am and could be pulled over at 11:43am and be issued the offence. The catch would be that the person who observed the offence has to keep sight of the target vehicle until stopped by a ground unit.
