I just realized something as I was reading postings in the "Improper Right Turn" section. I got a "Proceed contrary to sign at intersection, 144(9)" ticket for turning right on a red light with a sign depicting "no right on red light". The sign is the one showing a picture of a red light and a no right turn arrow. Isn't the violation for turn right on that sign a 144(18) or a 144(19)? As I turned left from the Esso station onto Carlaw - there is a No left turn from 6am to 6pm sign. But from Carlaw right onto Lakeshore - it's definitely a picture with no right turn...

Is it advisable to ask for disclosure - and pursue a stay? What are the chances that the prosecutor will plea-bargain with me and give me a "by-law infraction"?
A few friends have advised that I just get a paralegal - although it's just a 144(9), they mentioned that prosecutors want to keep their numbers of convictions up high. What would the approximate price be to get a paralegal?
And finally, who do I ask to see my record of driving?
Thx.

144(9) - Carlaw and Lakeshore
Just got my FIRST ticket in 20 years of driving - clean as a whistle. Driving on a Thursday afternoon around 5pm on Lakeshore - pulled in the Esso station to get gas on Lakeshore/Carlaw. Turned left from station on Carlaw going North, saw police car parked on Carlaw, stopped at red light. Wanted to turn right (east) onto Lakeshore - so looked for gap in rush-hour traffic. Saw gap - and made turn. Looked behind and police car with flashing lights on pulled me over. Told me I made a right turn on red with sign indicating "no right turn on red" allowed. To be honest - I did not notice t...
