Re: 144(18) - should I plead not quilty?

Bookm gave you some good advice here. Photographs may or may not help, but be aware of the following:

- Have the originals and the camera that took them
- Take the photographs yourself
- After taking photos, have a real photo shop do the prints (e.g. Black's)
- If using digital camera, have the original data card , CD of the prints and the prints ...

If one does not have a cellphone, can always leave their hazards on, slow down and drive to the closest gas station. Gas stations and variety stores all have video, should the person be an imposter at least it is on camera.

There are 2 different types of charges in here.

1) Over 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millitres of blood.

Doesn't the law require that any person charged, needs to fully understand the charges against them. ? By that I take it that it means that they (the accused) are to be given all they need in order to obtain that understanding.

the errors might not be errors. The notes are used to refresh an officers memory and many use short hand and the short hand is rarely the same from officer to officer.

Re: plaincloths officer stopped me for not checking

The "warrant card" is the piece of ID that confirms the officer. The card has the officers name, police service and rank.

Many different occupations have "badges" (fire, EMS, MTO, some security guards, CBSA, MNR, MOF, MOE, etc).

This is why in the assault police cases from criminal courts, arguements of officer identity was an issue. It was ...
