You had better start calling around to several lawyers to find one that has a winning track record of beating the no insurance charge as that is very serious (and a hard to beat)!

If you were issued a SUMMONS (it says Summons at the top of the ticket), this is not your trial date so you can go yourself to this one and do not necessarilt need to ...

I like to use fax method for everything because it is fast and cheap.

I just print out the "fax sent ok" report as proof I sent it.

If you dont have real fax then google "send free fax" there are several sites that will let you scan your letter and then upload it to them and they will fax it for you.

Most police have some kind of "computer" in their car. If they are issuing an electronic ticket then my understanding is that there would be some kind of printer attached to this computer in their vehicle. I do not know anything more really than that.

With regards to notes, the courts have allowed electronic signatures on electronic tickets and ...

When you request disclosure make sure you ask for:
-Notes of all officers involved.
-Make, model and serial number of speed measuring device used.
-A copy of the entire manual for this speed measuring device. I require the full manual in order to properly prepare and cross-examine the officer on their knowledge, understanding, training and use of ...

Please don't post the same thing multiple times.

Just make sure you say something like this to the JP :
"Since the prosecutor only got the disclosure ready 2 days ago, I would like an adjournment as I need time to review it and prepare my defense. And I would like this time to count against the prosecution as I have been requesting it since [SOME DATE] and they should have had more than enough ...

I choose to try and educate people on what their rights are, including what is also required of them. This is what I said in my very first post:
So I have been doing some research about my rights and realized that I do NOT ever have to talk to the police and I NEVER have to answer any of their questions.
I may be compelled/required by statute to ...

Also remember that if you go to trial both the officer and the bus driver MUST be present in order to testify. If one is not there then they have to drop the charge.

It really depends how busy the court is. In small town you might only get is pushed out a couple months. In Toronto you might get it pushed out 2 years. No way to know.

If they retroactive it, they will know that you had 2 other tickets at the time even though they are no longer there so they could raise your rates reflective of if you had 3 ...

The date on the summons is not your trial date (but you do have to show up). You will be asked how you plan to plead and if you plead not guilty then they will set a trial date.

I can not answer the questions about summons or the set fine amount.

Well my understanding is that when a charge is issued to the OWNER of a vehicle and not the DRIVER that it does not cause your insurance to go up. Maybe somebody else in forum can confirm that.

But regardless, I would plead Not Guilty and request a trial with the officer present. Once you get your notice of trial, you can then request disclosure ...

Well in theory they won't find out about the charge until/unless you are convicted so it would be beneficial to try and drag out the ER process a little and drag out the court date a little.

However once they are aware of a conviction I beleive (not 100% sure) they can retroactive it to the date it happened.

You can try googling it, but you can also just ask the prosecutor and they should tell you.

So first of all remember that even a 0 demerit point charge can still cause your insurance to go up. Demerits are completely unrelated to insurance and insurance companies do not care about demerit points, only convictions. They only see that you were found guilty of something and even if 0 demerits points they can still raise your rates.

When you ...

I usually call the Clerk of the Court on about day 9 or 10. By this time they should have received it.

You can also go to the Clerk of the Courts office and ask to view the original Certificate of Offence.

When going to trial, the other thing I always do is go see the clerk (before everything starts) and ask if I can see the original Certificate ...

You said "our house recieved" .. did it have somebody's specific name on it?

I still don't understand why people think I am trying to "stick it to the man" ... the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees us the Right to Remain Silent and the Right to Not Incriminate ourselves and this right applies even to minor traffic violations.

The article gives a great overview (albeit from a criminal charge perspective) of ...

Here is another good article on the Right to Silence:

It is a Provincial Offence, not a Criminal Offence so no you do not have to put it on your resume (it is not a "crime").

But yes it will show up on your driving record and will most definitely affect your insurance.

Yes the officer must be there as well.

So I would have plead not guilty and requested a trial with the officer present. Once I got the notice of trial, I would have requested disclosure (officers notes and witness statements).

At trial, the officer will testify to laying the charge and to your identity, but the other driver must also be there to testify of the actual accident. If the ...

**DELETED**

The person that took the video needs to attend the trial date to testify against you and say that they actually saw you litter. And your friend needs to attend the trial date as well to testify for you.

There is no form for them to fill out, so when you go to the early resolution meeting you can advise the prosecutor that you have a witness that ...

Hopefully the license suspension and vehicle impounded and cost to get back your vehicle will be enough to stop you from doing that ever again!

Any charge you end up convicted of (even a 0 demerit point charge) will still cause your insurance to go up.

There is a possibility that the prosecutor might consider dropping it to 149 in 100 (speeding ...

First of all you are going to kill yourself or somebody else if you continue to drive at crazy speeds like that (especially as in low experience driver)!

Now what was the charge or charges that you received?

If you were given a SUMMONS with a date to appear on it, this is NOT a trial, but it is where they decide if they need to set a trial date if you plan on pleading not guilty. Of course you can just plead guilty at this date and be done with it, but that is not adviseable. You will show up and the prosecutor will probably meet with you and they may ...

The officers testimony (based on his notes) is usually sufficient to get a conviction, so the video evidence may not even be needed.

Without actually seeing the video though, there is no way to know what it shows or what is on it. It may help prosecutors case or it may help your case but it would be pure speculation as to what it might show. Now ...

Yes you can still request a trial if you don't like the results of the resolution meeting.

You should take pictures from all angles of the intersection and sign.

Print out 3 copies of each pictures at some place like walmart and make sure they have time/date stamp on them. Take those with you so if you have to question officer you can show him pictures.

I would have her plead NOT GUILTY and request a trial with the officer present. Once you get your notice of trial, then you can request disclosure (officers notes). Once you get the officers notes you can then see what the officer said about which windows were blocked.

Was anybody else in the vehicle with your wife?
