Ontario Highway Traffic Act

If you read the case laws on disclosure, the courts have decided that the best remedy for unprovided disclosure is to tell prosecution to get it for you and set a new trial. The only way you would have succesful 11b motion is if you have already been to court twice and the prosecution has not provided the information the court told them to get you ...

For now I would 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 and copy of speed measuring device manual).

You can pay it anytime before the trial with no extra costs, but in order to decide how to fight you need to see the disclosure first anyways ...

Did you hear back from the paralegal about the outcome of each charge in 2010? Were they succesful in beating all the charges? If they were, then this is just a clerical error and you will need the paralegal to assist clearing it up. It is still your responsibility to have checked the outcome yourself though, and it is not paralegals responsibility ...

Yes that's a much better way! I had not noticed that tab before.

Thanks

Would this be an accurate search of all HTA related O. Regs.?

List shows 190 of them.

Some private property parking lots, like malls, usually have bylaws in place that make them "highways" for the purposes of the HTA.

So have fun on grandpa's back 40, but probably not wise to try it in a parking lot.

Does it have the option to mail it in? If so, then as long as it is post marked by day 15 then it should be okay.

If turning onto street A it would have to stop and not proceed until school bus lights stopped flashing, but vehicles approaching from either direction on street B do not have to stop if they are continuing on street B.

Congratulations on your win!

For future reference, here is case of Improper Muffler 75(1) with some more ideas on how to fight this type of charge:

Plead NOT GUILTY and request a trial with the officer present. When you get your Notice of Trial, you can then ask for discloure (officers notes and all witness statements).

After you get this information, you could still just pay the ticket if you really don't want to go to court, however this is the only way to ensure you get everything you want ...

Congratulations on your win! Take it anyway you can

When I read 62(1), to me it says that you only need 1 red light on the back. So as long as one of your brake lights is still working then you should be good.

I always send a fax as it is quick and easy. You scan your letter and upload it to a "send free fax" site.

As Benjamin Franklin said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

The courts have said that RIDE checks are an allowable violation of our rights. I do not believe there is any such thing as an allowable violation, and my right to privacy is infringed when police run checks without any reasonable grounds to do so. I also disagree with the whole argument that driving is a privilege.
