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?

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..

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

Would use it as a "slam dunk" in the your closing remarks to seal the deal on your win.

I know I pay a little extra each year to be given a "grace" ticket and a "grace collision".

Ooops, Bear, could you rename the thread to make it "parking tickets"?

The meter maid never left a ticket on the windshield. She would have run up to my door and handed it to my guest had that happened. don't think they would go and try to find the owner on any occassion

She just got 2 impending conviction notices for ...

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

or was it a ...

FireFlash wrote:There were two cops in the cruiser. One gave me the 10km/h over ticket, the other issued the following too closely after I moved into the right lane to get out of congestion. I take it that they still must both be there despite issuing me one ticket each? Should I put these both to trial together?

then each officer would be there then

racer wrote:. Secondly, there were 2 officers in car, which means that both have to show up for trial.

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.

For my 1,300 post, I present to you.....the newest vehicle at detachment

2009 Chev Tahoe

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 ...

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.

Radar Identified wrote:There's some debate as to whether or not "administrative licence suspensions" can be used against your insurance premiums, .

this is not an "administrative licence" suspension (ADLS). It is an unpaid fine suspension. ADLS refers to 3 day, 7 day and 90 day suspensions.

probably all about timing....ticket in June, 15 days to respond to ticket. Then court goes thru all tickets issued and checks who has paid and who has not, then sends notice to MTO about non-payment, how far is MTO backed up in the processing of these notices? In meantime your renewed your licence.

A "dealer" plate (white/red) or a "service plate" (yellow/black) just allows an automotive dealer/shop the ability to put a plate on a vehicle and go. As in....they do not have to get a plate properly registered onto a vehicle.

If a person gets stopped with a dealer/service plate they still must provide the ownership and proof of valid insurance ...

I would not say errors. I would say from that persons point of view.

Similiar to any collision, witness statements, will all differ, even people in the same vehicle.

But I thought you said painting the cars black & white was such a great idea of JF's. Something about making a stronger visual presence out on the road. But now you say stealth is better.. Now I'm all confused again :?

We always have had unmarked vehicles.

Problem before was that the marked cars blended in with every other white, tan, light ...

My point is that umarked cars aren't that visible. Police are most likely to be killed at the side of the road in a collision. Being that Police are most vunerable while parked at the side of a busy road, wouldn't it make sense to use a highly visible car?

there is a variety of takes on being stopped and visible.
- type of cruiser
- type of ...

Do tell about all this ordering??

why are more and more unmarked cars being used for traffic enforcment?

Ontario courts can change or "amend up" a speeding ticket if the driver decides to fight it, the province's Court of Appeal ruled Thursday.

The ruling will affect cases in which police officers opt to cut speeding drivers a break by lowering their recorded speed ...

I actually figured out the situation a little, I have a bunch of old fines on my ontario record from what it looks like, but only 1 is suspending me and the reason is, the cop wrote my ontario DL# on that ticket, and when it got convicted it automaticly put a suspension on it, but the other fines I have went straight to collection because my ...

Traffic collisions cause more deaths per year in Canada than crime.

Would you not want the area with the highest deaths getting the most attention?

This is an interesting statistic, however it's fairly biased. .

How can actual deaths in the same allotted time frame be biased?
