so everyone should just be pleading guilty with the proper notes!! Hence why the Quebec system works!

MPP (PC Leader Candidate) wants speed limit Increased

While drivers are cheering over new speed limiters required in transports and the OPP does its best to get people to slow down, there is someone else who is advocating the opposite. MPP Randy Hillier says he'd like to see the speed limit on the 400 series of highways increased to 110 kilometres an hour and the limiters abolished. The PC party ...

Re: Last minute Disclosure delivery

Would this make a difference to the JP? My "gut" says, Improper Disclosure .

Don't think it is improper disclosure.

What happens is our court has a file for each case and can track everything on the front of the file (ie: first court date, resolution meeting, next court date, adjournments, disclosure etc..) Something like the "police notes ...

Re: passing emergency vehicle

I will always have my lights on when on the shoulder and that is completing my "paperwork" from the previous stop which is more than justified.

Now personally, unless I have someone stopped, another cruiser has someone stopped OR the person I just sent on their way is merging onto the highway and up to speed, I won't bother anyone.

However, come ...

'Bear wrote that the request for disclosure comes from the prosocuter to him....can't find it right now......so why wouldn't it go from him to the prosocuter to the defendant?????

Almost exactly.... here is how my office runs things....seems easy enough

- person uses option # 3 and returns PON to court
- court sends trial notice to defendant ...

Re: Police Notes


Well, ahem: There is case law that refers to officers notes and whether or not something took place. Case in point: http://www.canlii.org/en/on/oncj/doc/2007/2007oncj266/2007oncj266.html .

Read all that, but that is specific times req'd for test times.

For example if I have a follow too close offence and I maybe I put

Police Notes

Curious from someone else point...what is the big deal BS about police notes and whether they are legible to someone else or not?

Notes are not the end all be all, notes are made to merely refresh my own personal memory of the incident and nothing more.

OR if my notes are legible but all in code that I know...again is to refresh my memory not ...

Absolutely!!! The best that I have seen at the helm in my career.

All you see is newpaper writings and most times is biased reporting at that. The public does not see the day to day operations and how things have changed for the better for the employees.

Re: JP rules - HTA172 violates the charter

As for Fantino.. Ever since the very idea of Bill 203 came out, he started chasing cameras to find every opportunity to advance his future political career by being out there in the media..
I don't think it was a bad thing to get right out front and centre with the media in regards to Bill 203. The gov't did not say much, so Fantino did...at ...
