Re: Why are some excluded..

A licence plate has nothing to do with the safety of the vehicle.

A "10-day permit" and "dealer plates" are temporary, not permanently attached to a vehicle like normal plates. The HTA also specific where temporary permits and plates must be attached. The temporary is also paper and would not last in various weather conditions.

Since the issuance ...

Re: Improper left turn / failure to yield

The other drivers insurance company is coming after us for damages because the officer put in report that there was an improper left hand turn and a failure to yield.

Since there was no tickets issued we did not fight it. Is there anyway to fight what the police put in the report?

The report is correct. It was an improper left turn and failed ...

Re: LEO Identification

I just perused the "Police Services Act" which governs the majority of police in Ontario with no mention of an answer for you.

Each service might have its own policy, I don't know.

Most uniformed members will have their badge and/or name on their uniform somewhere. Aside from that, it would be easier just to get the plate of the cruiser as you ...

Re: License Condition "X" Question

It would be a violation of the licence and the driver can not drive any further until the condition has been brought into compliance.

That's a new angle. Camera is a device in common usage by the general public. Unless it's one of those fancy professional devices with 50 attachments and is the size of a small refrigerator, reading the manual should suffice. (I 'spose the Prosecutor could ask the defendant for ...

Re: Cop suspended with Pay, HTA 172

The testing procedures for lidar actually ensure the unit is working properly. Tests are more than internal tests.

Unlike any other vehicle, cruiser speedometers are calibrated from purchase date and have this imprinted right on the speedometer.

Re: HTA 144(15): Amber Light - Fail To Stop

Anyway, the focus of your defence should be something like what you wrote: "I was approaching a green light and scanned the intersection for any hazards and other vehicles and pedestrians. When I was about two car-lengths from the stop line, the light changed to amber. I was driving at approximately the posted speed limit, which was appropriate ...

Glad we have a prosecutor that is on the ball....makes all photos by defendants inadmissable!! Excellent work!

GTA provincial offences courts accept photos from defendants all the time, they just need the time-date stamp and the person who took the photos to be present and testify. If there's any concern, get the photos printed, go to a ...

Blowing RED lights

Baffling, mind boggling etc...

One of the most dangerous aspects of driving, high probablity of being
"t-boned" and yet people still try to assist those to get out of these offences :shock:

If it the light is red, the driver already blew the yellow/amber portion of the light.
