Re: Turn not in Safety - Is this a valid defese?
...you somehow think we are denying you your ability to retain witnesses- but why would I go to such lengths to make your 'charges stick'? Do I REALLY care about your illegal turn? No. I don't. And neither do other officers at the end of the day. But what we all do care about is our safety. Glad yo...

Re: Turn not in Safety - Is this a valid defese?
I'm curious as to exactly how you would "find" a witness? Stop someone driving by at 50 km/h or start approaching pedestrians in the area as the officer writes your ticket? They're not going to stick around. Years ago, an officer pulled me over for 'running a stop sign on a school bus'. W...

Re: Turn not in Safety - Is this a valid defese?
I just wanted to comment on your thinking the officer waited to pull you over because, in your mind, he was denying you access witnesses... ... LOL. Really? Okay *rolls eyes* the reason for the delay was likely that he was conducting investigative checks on your vehicle, the registered owner, and/o...

WHEN to present photos to court?
I see the handy guideline posted by someone else.
The one question remains for me, WHEN during the process can I distribute photos?

Re: Turn not in Safety - Is this a valid defese?
i would also like to add that lines painted on Ontario roads are meaningless unless they're accompanied by a posted sign; if there was a sign prior to entering the intersection i would take a look at it ex: http://goo.gl/maps/5buqN (white on black signs) The intersection DOES have turning signs as ...

Re: Turn not in Safety - Is this a valid defese?
the more appropriate charge imo should have been "Improper Right Turn" contrary to S. 141 (2) http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_90h08_e.htm#BK218[quote]Right turn at intersection (2) Where a driver or operator of a vehicle intends to turn to the right into a...

Turn not in Safety - Is this a valid defese?
The infraction was during a right turn, onto a major road. This was a T-intersection with two right turn lanes. My vehicle was in the right most lane, and in the lane to my left a Police Officer was making a right turn also. 500m ahead, the officer pulled me over (in a city). It seemed like a long t...
