This is not the same as fighting a reduced speeding ticket because in this case you could end up being charged with both the obstruct plate AND the fail to stop.
Now, most likely the officer won't know you are fighting the ticket until you ask for disclosure. If you plead not guilty and request a trial and the trial date is more than 6 months from ...

Re: Licence Plate Obstruction
Yes they can give you a ticket for the thing from the dealer around your plate.
The officer has 6 months to give you a ticket for rolling the stop sign. So if you choose to fight the obstruct plate charge they may (or may not) write you up for rolling the stop sign.

Re: Stunt driving at 144 km/h in an 80 zone really need advi
The prosecutor has no obligation to offer you 49 over speeding. But they might. Most insurance companies consider 49 over just a MINOR infraction whereas they consider 50+ over and Stunt as a Serious offence. A serious offence will cause your insurance to skyrocket (more than double) and maybe even be cancelled.

Re: Insecure load - open for discussion
If they try to get the other officer to testify, you can object because they did not provide you with his notes.
But they really have no reason to get the other officer to testify. So I would not worry about it. If he does show up and they are calling him to testify then you have a good reason to object to it and that should get him excluded.

Re: STUNT DRIVING CHARGE - NEED ADVICE
In Ontario you will see "shall" which means you must. There is no confusion about this word as the courts have decided "shall" means must and "may" means optional. I do not know the case law off the top of my head, but I have read it several times where this was decided.

Best option is to call them and ask them directly for the status.

Re: section 136(1)(a) trial - HELP
I am not a lawyer and am not a paralegal and the folloing is not legal advice and is just my opinion, but I do not think the paralegal you hired is very experienced.
You do NOT have to show up to trial for provincial offences as long as you send somebody to represent you.

Re: Fail to Obey a stop sign-ticket has no intersection
Can you scan and post your ticket? If there is no section number at all, then this is a fatal error IF you do not show up for trial.

Re: Speeding ticket (LIDAR) - very poor disclosure
There are three copies to every ticket:
(1) Notice of Offence - the copy that you get.
(2) Certificate of Offence - the officers copy that gets submitted to the court.
(3) Enforcement Agency Record - the officers copy that they keep for their records.
They can not change the Certificate of Offence after they have given you the Notice of Offence ...

Re: Speeding ticket (LIDAR) - very poor disclosure
You can not count on the officers not showing up, but it does happen sometimes. When you check in with prosecutor, you can ask them if both officers are there. Some prosecutors will be honest and tell you yes or no. If one is not there, then ask the prosecutor if they are going to withdraw the charge. If both officers are not there, then you should ...

Re: Late Disclosure and Trial Date, 34 over
Yes it is a good angle to attack... basically you need to ask the officer what test they did and how they did it. You need to check the manual and see if the officer did everything they were supposed to do, the way they were supposed to do it. If they did not, then you get them to confirm what they did and how they did it. You then ask them if the ...

Re: section 136(1)(a) trial - HELP
If you have NOT got disclosure then your paralegal should NOT tell them you are ready for trial. Paralegal should say you are not ready for trial because you have not got disclosure and request an adjournment.
Failure to have disclosure at the first trial is not a reason to get ticket dismissed. Yes it should get adjourned to new date.

The roadside suspension and car being impounded does not affect her insurance at all.
If you get convicted, because you are listed on her policy, it will affect her insurance HUGE. If she takes you off her policy, then it will not affect her insurance at all, but you may not be allowed to drive her vehicle anymore.
