Some private property locations have different enforcement protocols: ticket everyone, tow everyone, tow on repeated offence, never tow. Unfortunately, this seems like rotten luck for you.

We had a similar situation, where a resident from a condo parked in their designated spot. Unfortunately their vehicle wasn't registered in the private security ...

Was any part of the car touching or on-top of the hashed lines? Usually handicap spaces, have hashed lines around them and they're designated access aisles for pedestrian traffic. They're used mainly by disabled drivers/passengers to get in and out of their vehicle with ample space. You can't park or obstruct these hashed lines. The set fine is ...

If your intention is to plea-bargain at your trial date, you should file both tickets for trial. The prosecutor will most likely drop the 'registration ticket' in exchange for a plea-deal on a reduced speed (most likely +15km/h: no points).

Once you get your 'Notice of Trial', you should request disclosure from the prosecutor's office. You can ...

Ontario Prosecutors require 6-8 weeks to process disclosure requests.

There is no guarantee the ticket will get waived; the 'Fail to Surrender Insurance Card' ticket is not for driving without insurance, it's for not producing an insurance card promptly to a police officer when requested.

The #1 problem with Google Maps, Earth & Streetview images is that the pictures were taken a long time ago. The intersection you received the offence notice may look different.

Google Earth images can be years old.

It's all public information, you can request for it through city hall.

What department should I ask? Is it free? Do they get you a copy immediately? Do you need to fill out a Freedom of Information Request Form?

Thank you iFly55! Even if you call 311, they'll re-direct you to the appropriate department. It's free, they'll most likely send it to ...

Also submitted the city road map report with the roads categories and speed limits and it was totally ignored by the Justice(what a joke). The road was listed as category B and speed limit 80 outside urban area-the Justice accepted the prosecutions statement that in the city speed limit is 50km/h just by saying so.

Where did you get the city ...

To secure a conviction, the crown must establish the essential elements of your charge.

Regulation 615 requires that the sign be visible at a distance of at least 60 metres: http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/regs/english/elaws_regs_900615_e.htm

Sign must have been erected after Sep 2012, because I can't see it on Streetview: http://goo.gl/3oiYsn ...

I would like to fight this ticket and get the charges completely dropped because what the cop hadn't seen was that i had just accelerated to avoid an accident with another car. I have written an account of what happened which i plan to present to the court along with snapshots from google images to back up the account. Don't bother with Google ...

It doesn't matter what path you choose

1) ignore the ticket
2) option 2 - early resolution
3) option 3 - trial date

All three paths have the same conclusion if you don't appear; a justice of peace will have to review the face of the ticket and quash it if there is a fatal error.

DO NOT go to trial tomorrow and force the fatal error.

Most police officers follow the rules of the road whether they're in a marked cruiser or a civilian car. They set the example for everyone else on the road. Having said that an officer could lose his job if he was caught driving recklessly. To even join the force you need a clean driving record, not sure why they would ruin it by speeding, running ...

The picture was taken back in Jun 2012, but approaching the intersection there doesn't appear to be any enforceable 'black & white' lane designation signs.

Lets entertain the idea that there was a sign, how can the officer see the sign if he's approaching from ...

It could be a roadwatch letter, and some jurisdictions outline how consecutive complaints could result in an officer detailed to follow you and monitor your driving.

Lets say you were stopped down the road for speeding, can the officer see previous roadwatch letters for that the vehicle's plate/owner by the side of the road? Is roadwatch ...

BTW was your friend going Northbound on Brimley Rd? Streetview: http://goo.gl/zq6uOZ

IMO there would be no jurisdiction issue there, it's all City of Toronto for at least a 2km radius. Lets just say that 50 km/hr sign was not there, the Highway Traffic Act would default the speed limit to 50 km/hr anyway.

Normally if there are fatal errors on the ticket, the clerk at the ticket office will cancel them. When the building owner went through MLEO training, they were instructed to initial corrections.

If it does go to trial, keep in mind that the Provincial Offences Act allows the courts to amend the ticket.

You were very lucky not to get charged with Stunt Driving (HTA S172).

Scenario 1 - If you're in a queue of cars waiting to turn left, you can not enter the intersection from a dead-stop against an amber light. (HTA S.144 (15))

(1) will the case be dismissed if i stand in trial without receiving the disclosure. You should not proceed to trial without receiving disclosure; this is why the courts have "pre-trial" motions, this is where you tell the justice of peace you have not received disclosure; the prosecutor will have to provide a response as to why they've failed to ...

You should go back, and re-submit it; tell them you were there the previous day... they will most likely go and get your 11b application and add your affidavits of service.

It wouldn't hurt to add the offence number and the date/time/location of your trial date. Just make sure that you have your copy stamped 'received'.

Maybe you can describe exactly where and what the sign was?

Disobey Sign is very generic charge, all the enforceable signs erected on the road are protected by it. ie: Speed Limit, HOV, Do Not Park, etc. Depending on what the sign read, and where you did it... there may be a lot of other 0-point charges to choose from.

You have posted this under the 30 to 49km/h section, was this ticket reduced?

Another question: does an officer serving under 11 Division have authority to set up a speed trap in 12 Division's neighbourhood boundaries?

Is the officer still within his jurisdiction if he's operating a speed trap outside of his 11 Division neighbourhood boundaries, but still within the city? http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic1083 ...

You need transcripts from your Feb 2014 appearance; for steps on filing the 11b, check this thread: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic2952.html

What was the suspension for?

is it still required under case law that there is documentation that the unit was tested after being pulled over? you'd think the officer would just say he did test the unit afterwards and that would be the end of it then, even though the notes did not mention any testing afterwards? http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic1909-15.html#p30553 ...

Section Six of the Canadian Charter of Rights protects your mobility rights. We've had this freeman discussion before:

The other driver is 100% at-fault for the collision if he tried changing lanes. You should inform your insurance company of the accident, and describe exactly how it happened.

Police don't necessarily assign fault for collisions, they're already pre-determined through 'Fault Determination Rules' under the Insurance Act.
