One of the biggest problems with our Government, Judges and Police is that they have to take an oath to the Queen and a corporation called Canada, but not to the people.

So everything is not done in our favor. These people are supposed to be public servants, but don't confuse "public" with us people that live here!

Well that is too bad.

Another great example of the Canadian Injustice System at work!

I would suggest that even if you got it a week in advance that is not enough time to prepare.

Approximately 21 days before the trial date, you could file a From 4F Stay request if you have not received the disclosure by then. Having your charge Stayed is basically the same as dropped. Most likely the JP will not approve the Stay request, in which ...

Did I potentially just hang myself and could I expect a ticket in the mail despite him saying he wouldn't? I don't even know if a ticket in the mail after the fact is possible

Yes you did and yes he can. Hopefully he will keep his word and won't, but they have 6 months to send you a ticket in the mail.

I stick by my advice of "never talk to ...

My opinion, but never plead guilty upfront.

I always tell everybody they should plead NOT GUILTY and ask for a Trial with the Officer present. Once you get your Notice of Trial, you can then request disclosure (officers notes, witness statements). Once you get disclosure you can then better decide how to proceed. And remember that at the trial ...

bump ... any ideas anybody?

Good news!!!

The manual I got says Genesis Handheld Directional (GHD) and Scout. Does not mention anything about "VP" in the manual.

Is the GHD/Scout a predecessor to the VP?

Provincial Offences Act Section 18(1) Talks about a Notice of Impending Conviction if you ignore a parking ticket.

Is a municipality required to issue one these (will they always issue one)?

Or is it optional and just dependent on the municipality?

Thanks

Digital time stamp on photo must be embedded from the camera that took it.

Walmart is fine.

So how exact does a Form 13 Parking Infraction Notice have to match the one listed here (POA 0857)?

The one I received has at least a dozen mispelled or missing or added words.

It also does not use the words "contrary to" anywhere on the notice.

The notice has 3 options ...

Contact several paralegals and get several opinions as (unfortunately) some of them simply want your money to go get a plea deal that you could have gotten yourself.

Cross examination is the key to winning (most of the time) and probably the hardest thing to learn to do well. The trick is to bring reasonable doubt to the officers testimony by questioning him about what they said and by suggesting other possible scenarios, but this is a hard trick to learn because if you do it wrong you can actually hurt your ...

So the caution for speeding is meaningless right now since he did not issue you a ticket. Your trial will be for the fail to stop at red light which is all you should be worried about right now.

Of course the officer has 6 months to charge you for speeding from the date of the offence so if it has been less than 6 months (on Sept 28) then there is ...

You should choose NOT GUILTY option with a Trial with Officer present. Once you get Notice of Trial you can file for disclosure (the officers notes). Once you get the notes, post them here and we can give more advice. Until you read the officers notes, you really have no idea what their case against you is (or if they even have a case against you).

Well I guess I only need to worry about that if they actually find something!

I am sending an FOIR (Freedom of Information Request) to see if I can find out any more details. It's a long shot but worth a try.

Anybody else want to send one as well? It only costs $5 and if they receive more than one at a time it might make them go searching a little quicker for the info.

I have attached a copy of my FOIR.

I recommend you choose NOT GUILTY option for Trial with Officer present. Once you get notice of trial you can then request disclosure.

You do not necessarily need to go to the trial. After you receive disclosure, you can decide to (i) just pay it, or (ii) not show up for the trial (and most likely be found guilty), or (iii) hire paralegal to ...

There is no downside to pleading not guilty and requesting a trial.

I recommend you choose the NOT GUILTY option for a Trial with the officer present.

Once you get your Notice of Trial you can then request disclosure (the officers notes) and decide whether to fight it further or not.

I don't know about specifics, so this is just what I would do:

(1) Send a notice to the clerk and the prosecutor that you will have video evidence you want to present at the trial, and will require a DVD player and TV or a laptop computer in the court room.

(2) Burn your video onto a DVD and on a USB stick as well.

(3) Bring the original camera ...

I suppose it is something that could be used if necessary but I personally have never seen or heard anybody use one in Provincial Offences court before.

You may want to talk to an expert about the insurance issue and see if there is anything that can be done. I honestly do not know anything about how insurance companies determine fault and if there is any kind of appeal process or not.

But I don't think the insurance decision saying it is your fault has any bearing on whether the police charge you ...

Anybody giving evidence has to be there in person. So the son would have to be there. And they could in theory contact the other people involved and ask for further statements and ask them to testify. So I would choose the NOT GUILTY option for a TRIAL with the Officer present, and then once you get a trial date you need to request disclosure which ...

Yes, they have 6 months to charge you. The 30 days only applies to the method they use to charge (something like indictable or not).

I do not know the answer to that part of your question, which is why I did not answer. Just call your insurance company and ask them.

You will really have to wait another 5 months and see if the officer decides to charge you with something or not.

However, the officer will need a witness as to whatever he charges you for. So if the truck driver or another witness can testify to you "driving carelessly" or "speeding" or whatever, then that is what he would charge you with. He ...

@observer135 - Do you have any information on Ontario's request, as in who it was (like OPP or some other government division) that asked for the customized version? News articles? Forum posts?

I understand that I am indeed trying to climb Mount Everest, but I cannot find any information as to anybody else having tried to go this route before ...

For Provinical Offences like speeding, if I want to file a Notice of Motion before the trial for anything (let's say to have some evidence excluded), do I have to use the form POA-0007, or can I just submit something that is similar to it?

The reason I ask is that it contains a sentence that says "And further take notice that in support of this ...
