Ontario Highway Traffic Act

There is always more than one way to do things. My advice is just my opinion and how I would probably handle it. But you are definitely thinking things thru, so I can see that you could have some success with your method as well. And you would definitely have some good reasons for appeal if the JP allows the trial to go thru as well.

I really don ...

Glad it all worked out!

REQUESTING DISCLOSURE OF RADAR/LIDAR MANUAL

The courts have decided that when you ask for a copy of the manual for the speed measuring device used, that the prosecution only has to provide you with part of it and not the whole thing, unless you can give reasons why you need the whole thing.

So my suggestion is that when you request disclosure ...

You need to send the new request for disclosure, as you are entitled to it, even if the trial is only a week away. I would also add a request for a new trial date so that you and the officers do not need to show up to the one next week. They may or may not give it to you, and you might have to go to the trial and request an adjournment. All you can ...

And a couple more comments cross-examination:

When the officer that pulled you over is on the stand, he will pretty much say word for word what he wrote. When it is your turn to cross-examine him, the questions you can ask are:
- You stated that I was driving on a highway as defined by the Highway Traffic Act? (should answer yes)
- And you stated ...

Just an FYI that the Genesis II Select Directional is RADAR not LIDAR.

So I would immediately send another disclosure request and say something like the following:
- It has come to my attention that I have only received a copy of the notes from the officer who stopped me, but not the notes from the officer that apparently was using the speed ...

Yes you should have gotten notes from both officers and they both must be at the trial. One will testify as to issuing the ticket and identification and the other will testify to speed.

Remember that a 10 over (0 demerit points) and 29 over (3 demerit points) will affect your insurance exactly the same. So taking the 10 over charge will mean a ...

They can not intimidate you to do anything. Just say no. You probably will not even meet the prosecutor when you go to pick it up as they will just leave it with reception.

You could try to schedule meeting with prosecutor and show pictures, but this may or may not get you anywhere. You need to schedule meeting before you go.

Yes keep the ticket you got safe as AND scan both sides and email to yourself just in case.

Personally I would NOT tell the police and would NOT tell the clerk of the court and would NOT tell the prosecutor about the mistake as they can re-issue the ticket within 6 months by summons.

You were NOT properly served! So if a conviction is registred ...

Call the Clerk of the Court in Barrie and ask them for specific contact information for prosecutor.

Are both the name and the drivers license on the ticket incorrect? Or specifically what information is incorrect?

January 26 is your trial date so you should not forgot about it until then. You need to start preparing for your defense or finding a good lawyer to represent you. Waiting until the last minute will almost guarantee you lose.

I know that's not what I said, but it is what I meant to say which is why I clarified it.

My fingers don't always type what my brain is thinking.

My point was that they can't make up charges and give you invalid tickets for having a bad attitude. If they charge you for something, then it had better be a valid charge.

I usually send a letter (not a motion) signed by the person you are acting for.
