Re: Lidar test before & after means?

I agree with jsherk, if the lidar manual says to test before and after then that should be presented to the JP. If the JP does not accept that, on appeal that would be a win.

The problem is that lidar manuals in north america do not say to test before and after. They only indicate a "before" test.

Re: Lidar test before & after means?

I helped a friend with a +49 where the officer did not do a lidar test after his shift. OPP 407 detachment do not do lidar tests after, and the newmarket prosecutor had no problems with this. We ultimately took a plea-deal for S182(2) disobey sign in order to avoid trial.

The prosecution argues that there is a difference between lidar and radar ...

Re: HELP: Stunt Driving (117 km/hr in a 40) + Speeding sec.1

OP = original post or poster

Yes, OP will only be convicted of one charge; crown will be seeking a guilty conviction on S172 and not S128. Does stunt driving require the same proof as speeding? Meaning does crown have to prove the speed using say radar or pacing? Or is it more based on the opinion testimony of officer that they were just driving ...

Re: HELP: Stunt Driving (117 km/hr in a 40) + Speeding sec.1

For charges like this, the crown will not offer a plea-deal with the OP; they will proceed straight to trial and request for maximum fines, suspension and sentences. Crown will make an example out of you; OP needs some form of representation to avoid a trial or minimize the damage at sentencing.

Re: need advice regarding speeding ticket defense

Unless you were speeding in a 80 zone, you would basically be providing the courts evidence that you were actually speeding +40 in a 40kph construction zone.

Out of court fine for 80 in a 60 zone (3 demerit points)
Set Fine: $3.75 x 20kph = $75
Victim Surcharge: $15
Court Fee: $5
Total Fine: $95

Re: Does the Highway traffic act apply to OPP ?

More importantly, how he was parked does not affect the outcome of any stop-sign charges he laid that day.

I recently had a similar discussion, where someone advised me the officer was parked in front of a fire hydrant while doing speed enforcement. Cool story bro?

Re: Redlightcamera: light was only red for 000.5 seconds

I've yet to hear of anyone getting charged for speeding based on the RLC reading. That would essentially make it a photo-radar, which would set off a firestorm.

Unfortunately, I don't really see how you'll be getting out of this. You were speeding +21kph over the posted limit, and failed to stop for the amber and red light.

Re: Parking Ticket? Will 11b appeal work?

You've hit the nail on the head here. Even if this was an HTA offence, you still have to show how the delay has "prejudiced" you.

There is no way around answering that all important question during the pre-trial motion.

On a related note, when I took my m2 exit safety course, the MTO certified instructors advised me to use my highbeams during the daytime. Also when I purchased my bike at the dealer, they also advised me the same.

Re: disobey stop sign, fail to stop trap

This is unfortunately the wrong way of going about fighting this ticket. The courts will absolutely shut you down the moment you ramble on about quotas.

You can not get information on charges given to other drivers because that violates their privacy. The outcome of their charges has no relevance to your case.
