Re: Police Notes

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 ...

Re: can i be charged with DUI if...

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)

Re: can i be charged with DUI if...

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 ...

Re: Can the HTA be enforced in a mall parking lot

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 ...

Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here! :)


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 ...
