Re: Need help/advice for ticket 22km/h over, early resolutio

If you live at the same residence, I believe you are supposed to be listed on her insurance. But I honestly don't know much about the insurance side or how that all works. I do not know whether your ticket will affect her insurance. If there was an accident, then the insurance company would obviously be notified and would know about it. But do they ...

Re: Stopped on a Signed Highway $150

Highway just means a public road as defined in the HTA

You said the sign clearly said no stopping between 4-6 and that it was after 4. So from this perspective you are guilty.

However, you should plead Not Guilty and request a Trial with the officer present. Once you get your notice of trial, you can then request disclosure.

Toronto's courts are ...

Re: Need help/advice for ticket 22km/h over, early resolutio

I suggest you plead NOT GUILTY and request a Trial with the officer present. Once you get your notice of trial, then request disclosure. Once you get disclosure (this is the evidence they have against you) and have read it THEN set up a meeting with the prosecutor to discuss early resolution.

You could do early resolution first and then request a ...

Re: What colour is my phone?

So first of all, the reason police ask you questions is to get the evidence they need to convict you of something. I stand by my statement of "Never talk to police!"

Now the charge you are facing is something like "driving with handheld device", not "driving with purple handheld device". In ...

Re: Ticketed For Parking in a Handicap Spot

Did you plead not guilty and request a trial?

Toronto has a huge back log, especially for parking tickets and lots of people are getting trial dates 2 years later. You just wait for your notice of trial. Once you get it, you wait until about 3 weeks before the trial and file your 11b application.

Re: Options in my Trial for 28km/h over - LIDAR

Re: Wasn't given a chance

He should plead NOT GUILTY to all charges and request Trial with Officer present.

Once he gets notice of trial, he can contact prosecutor for discussion about the charges and see if they will offer plea deal and possibly drop insurance one.

If he does not like the outcome of this, then he should request disclosure and proceed to trial.

Once he ...

Okay so it is a time calculation!

Does read out it show you the distance as well as the speed? Or speed only?

LIDAR manual

Does anybody have a lidar manual I can review? Any manufacture will do as I just want to see how it works.

Does lidar measure distance/length?

Re: Radar Manual- No tuning forks and No tracking history

So here is an interesting approach for stationary/handheld radar:

In cross-examination of the officer you can ask if they used tuning forks to test the device to which they will say no.
You can then ask if they tested it against a vehicle of known speed to which they will also say no (since it is not required by the manual for stationary radar ...

Re: Radar Manual- No tuning forks and No tracking history

I am aware of the issue with tuning forks. The purpose of this thread was to try and track down who decided to get the tuning fork test removed from the canadian manual even though it is still in the usa manual.

Do you have case law stating that tracking history is still required even though it is not in the manual?

And by tracking history do you ...
