Re: Traffic Ticket Reinstatement?

Agree with Admin and RI.

Pay the amount owing. Fail to do so could result in a collection agency being asigned to collect the funds, which of course then probably flags your credit rating negatively.

Then use proper channels to get reimbursed: LSUC or civil court

Maybe someone knows (haven't been involved with this area in many years) but ...

Re: Your rights when the five O pull you over

This province is getting scary insane. Where do cops get the idea that they should search innocent citizens' automobiles? The freaking nerve! .

Also the nerve is painting all police with the same brush. As like any profession everywhere there are those that taint the 99.9% that do the job properly. I have never searched without a lawful reason ...

However, the blood alcohol could still be on the rise and a person could go from a warn to a fail, they will then be arrested.

Re: requesting disclosure from CPIC inquiries

think it is referring to the times....had this same issue in trial, brought up by defense
- ticket was wrote say at 3:10pm
- defendant had gas receipt at 3:09pm
- was 4km to location stopped
- argued ticket time vs time to travel that distance
countered with my current watch time (in court) was 2min faster than court clock

Re: HTA 182(2) @ Bay & Edward

I took a look at Google streetview and there is indeed a sign on the North West corner of the intersection, but it was like Where's Waldo trying to see it, especially at the time when I was just trying to figure out where I was and not get run over. It's not in the usual sort of place you'd look for signs pertaining to a turn you're about to make ...

Re: Received ticket this evening - woould like opinions

HTA 611 is what is required for vehicle safeties, so I will just throw this out there...so either the officer would lay an "unsafe vehicle" charge, seize the plates, tow the vehicle OR choose to issue a muffler offence.

If it the muffler falls into 611 10(f) it is concerning that a "professional" garage is allowing a vehicle to leave that would ...

Re: 136 on 401 - disclosure received - looking for advice


Discrepancies - I was not the only car but the first of 3. I had someone tailgating so I moved over to middle lane but then was the only one pulled over.
Lidar is target specific, meaning only one target, one reading at a time, however is pinpoint accurate. The lidar beam is 90cm (3ft) wide at the distance given.

Re: What happens to demerit points while matter is under appeal?

Thanks Biron,

I think my knowledge of the HTA and Regs comes from doing strictly traffic for over a decade. When I find a situation I look it up. I try to play "defense-in-my-head" for every offence to shut down all the avenues of "escape" if you will. Plus I learn from this site of all the questions that officers could possibly be asked, thus I ...

Re: Prosecutor appealing my dismissal

Great ideas....plus we jointly re-write the HTA to make sense

- In addition to a "pay tickets" website, create a "fight tickets" website so paperwork only needs to be filed on-line

Only point I disagree with is the above and it is not the ease of challenging the offence. There has to be some penalty, say $250-500 added to the fine for a "no ...

Re: Prosecutor appealing my dismissal

No doubt that some people within the Crown Prosecutor's office (and possibly the Ministry of the Attorney General) had a cow when the JP ruled in mdevo's favour and word got out. Also, I'd be willing to bet a few people who fight traffic tickets for a living may be quite interested in this particular outcome.

It could make burden of proof for ...
