What do you think my options are?

that would be your answer

Notes are a way for the people who got caught to try and find a loophole to get out of the charge.

"Loophole"?

Notes sometimes show things like:

- Officer did not properly test speed-measuring device
- Officer did not properly observe offence (particularly true at signalized intersections)
- Officer observed defendant do something but ...

R v Schlesinger



I would like to make note of:

3 "Evidence as to a particular practice or a standard practice is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt. See the decisions of Kroft J. (as he then was) in the cases of R. v. Jabs (November 19, 1991) (Man. Q.B.) (unreported) and ...

Private property is not exempt from the criminal code.

(ie: can drink beer on your lawn mower as LLA does not apply as it is private property, but if your hammered can be charged with impaired)

I was surprised to learn that there are certain laws in the USA that a person can be charged with DUI if they have been drinking and sitting in the drivers seat with keys in the ignition, but not actualy driving.

As for myself I like to spend some time on the weekends in the warm months washing the car inside and out. I also enjoy knocking back a ...

1) I have some business in some area malls after hours. Once I have pulled into the mall lot on the way to the closest door I rarely stop at stop signs unless there is a car or person nearby. (i do not carelessly speed, i do show caution, just do not fully stop) Can a police officer charge me with an offence under the HTA? Worse case senario If a ...

Glad to see that, what seem to be police officers here, seem to be reasonable. I have visited other message boards that they all seem to be tools to anyone who posts about a ticket, and tells them to plead guilty to everything. Seems to be a better attitude here.

Thanks all!

[In your second, you said if I showed my insurance card at the scene of the accident it would be on record for my insurance company. I will assume you mean the scene of the accident. If this is the case, seeing the police were present and circumstances, there was obviously no choice. My question really was/is more so does the officer take it ...

from CBC news - 29JAN10

Toronto police say their four-day pedestrian and traffic safety campaign led to more than 300 charges — and more than 300 warnings.

From Monday to Thursday, police fanned out across the city, targeting jaywalkers and pedestrians disobeying traffic signals.

Since the start of the year, Toronto has recorded seven ...

the fault is not determined by amount of injury or lack thereof

Does the MTO keep this on record as my own personal 'at fault' accident regardless?

all collisions and conviction since the day you were born are on the MTO
records

Radar Identified wrote:Actually, come to think of it, shouldn't it be "Unnecessary Slow Driving, to wit 20 km/h in a 60 km/h zone," to be technically accurate?

short form wordings do not need to be exact as long as it describes the offence as per section charged.

HTA OREG 611 Vehicle Safety Inspections
Schedule 1
1. (1) The body, sheet metal and equipment shall be inspected and tested for conditions hazardous to occupants, pedestrians or vehicles and,
(a) no bumper, fender or mudguard shall have been removed;

Well, um in that case it would be an offence that IS known to law.

k...I just wanted to ask a "what if"

there is a list of "set fines" that officers have to follow, along with the "set fine" is a "short form wording" which is pretty much standard, however the officer does not have to use the "short form wording" but 99% of the time it is used.

set fines are listed on the "ontario court of justice" website on set fines.

The important part is that ...

[. Another example would be "speeding 20 km/h in a 60 km/h zone." Well in that case, the act specified was that you were driving under the speed limit - that is not an offence known to law.

Well, ok, um....well WHAT IF it said "Driving too slowly - to wit 20km/hr in a posted 60km/hr zone" HTA 132 and the fine was $85 and totalling $110 ??? :D

As an example, being charged under OHTA 136 (1) (a) "Stop at Through Highway":

The ticket specifies the offence as "Disobey Stop Sign - Fail to Stop"

1) Where are these official offence descriptions specified?

Ticket states the Contrary To as "Highway Traffic Act, section 136(1)(a)"

2) How do I know the offence ...

My qestions are is there a video or photo of the incident
No
or just the pilots opinion
no
I also believe that there was sufficient space between me and the other vehicle (at least 1 - 2 car lenghts)
vehicles = 4-5m long x 2= 8-10m, 80km/hr = 22m/sec = less than 1 second behind

33m (at 80km/hr = 22m/sec) is how far a vehicle travels before ...

They did this by specifying the stop sign under the By-Law "Intersections" schedule. But it is 60 meters from the nearest intersecting roadway!
The sign must be within 15m of the intersection to be valid.
HTA OREG 615 section 7

Anybody ever seen a stop sign at an already controlled railway crossing??
If the lights, bells. gates are there but ...

where did the photo go? wanted to reference it again...

HTA OREG 615
52. A municipality situated in an area designated by the French Language Services Act is not required to comply with the sign requirements for such areas unless it (Municipality) has passed a by-law under section 14 of that Act.

that section is for intersections controlled by a traffic control signal (traffic lights)

even I think

A vehicle that fails to stop at a red during a turning movement is still "running a red light".....just sayin'

Although there are a couple of judgements saying that the 50 over part of the legislation is unconstitutional, there's now another judgement from a few weeks ago saying that it's ok. Until a decision comes from a high enough court, you'll continue to see prosecutions.
