Ontario Highway Traffic Act

In Ontario, Police can pull somebody over just to check their drivers license, insurance and registration whether its a rental car or not. They do not need any other reason.

The summons date is NOT your trial, so you do not necessarily need legal counsel at the summons.

The summons date is simply to ask you how you want to plead, guilty or not guilty. If you plead not guilty, then they will set a trial date.

You could also say that you would like to see disclosure before you decide how you want to plead. If you do ...

No I said plead NOT GUILTY and request a Trial with the officer present.

Once you get your trial date (notice of trial), then try to set up meeting with prosecutor.

First thing you should do is immediately go to MTO and get the address corrected, and keep your copy of the receipt.

Second would be to plead not guilty and ask for trial with officer present. Once you get your notice of trial, you can contact prosecutors office and ask for a meeting. If they won't give you a meeting, then you can just show up on ...

Amending the certificate means to change a speeding ticket from say 75 in a 60 back up to original speed of say 85 in a 60 or it means to fix a minor error on the ticket like a mis-spelled name. They can not change it to a whole new/different charge.

Note also that they only have 6 months from the date of the offence to issue a ticket for any new ...

What happens if somebody can not produce their drivers license, say because they forgot their wallet at home, but identifies themselves and is given a "fail to produce their license" charge... are they then sent on their merry way (still without their license) or could their vehicle be towed/impounded?

Failing to surrender insurance is a different charge though from not having any insurance at all, correct?

If a driver fails to produce their drivers license, insurance and registration when asked, what are the charges that they would normally face?

If your paralegal talked to the police officer then the deal means nothing. Double check that your paralegal talked with the Crown Prosecutor and not the officer because it is the crown prosecutor who can suggest a deal. But once you go to trial, the Justice of the Peace has to agree to the deal as well, and at 87 over I would highly doubt they ...

You have an excellent case and should win.

The prosecutor should drop the case if they watch the video.

But if it proceeds to trial then you need to bring your copy of the video on DVD or USB stick and bring a laptop to play it on. Very important that you bring your own device to play the video on because there is a good chance they will not have ...

I am not sure what it is called, but yes it is a real thing to have a court date where you show up and it is solely to set a trial date.

Now in order to win the speedy trial argument, you are going to have to request official transcripts from both of your previous court appearances on January 13th and February 12th. You need to get on this right ...

It's careless driving because that was the charge the officer laid and as7266 plead Guilty to it. When you plead guilty to a charge, then you are agreeing that you are guilty of that charge.

So to confirm, the charge is HTA 7(1)(a) ?

It reads:
Permit requirements
7. (1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a highway unless,
(a) there exists a currently validated permit for the vehicle;

So the case law mentioned above by Stanton deals with an "unsigned and not validated ownership" and the ruling was that it was still ...

It's a 30-day suspension only. It just did not officially start until you turned in your drivers license.

I would plead Not Guilty and request a Trial with the officer present, and then once you get the notice of trial, you can request disclosure (officers notes).

Note that the Toronto court system is pretty backed up so there is a good chance that the court date will be more than a year away and therefore you can get it stayed/dropped under a Section ...
