Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Although police and the ministry like to promote speeding tickets as a way to keep us safe, when you take it to court to fight it, they do not have to actually prove whether the speed you were driving was actually unsafe or not. They just have to prove you were speeding. The reason you were speeding is irrelevant. So it does not matter if everybody ...

Can you scan and post the notes (black out personal and officer details)?

It will be interesting to see what sign you supposedly disobeyed!

Remember that the prosecutor is under no obligation to offer you any deal at all. But it never hurts to ask!

You could call and try to arrange meeting before trial date with prosecutor and see if they will meet with you. If they won't meet with you ahead of time, then you can speak with prosecutor before trial on your court date.

You already got a deal so there is slim to none chance that prosecutor will offer you anything else.

If you plead not guilty, we do not know what the defense would be until we see the disclosure... need officers notes before we can decide if there is a way to fight it or not.

Yes it is possible that if you plead not guilty and request disclosure ...

For insurance purposes, 130 in 80 is 50 over and is stunt driving which is a much much much more serious offence than 49 over speeding. And the officer could have charged you with stunt, had your vehicle towed/impounded and suspended your license for 7 days.

Obviously you can not testify and give your side of the story because you have to tell the ...

Congratulations on the win!

You have the right to a trial and the right to view the officers notes.

You should plead NOT GUILTY and request a trial with the officer present. Once you get your notice of trial with a trial date, you can then request disclosure (officers notes). Once you get the notes, scan and post them here.

There is a very small chance that the officer will ...

No the wrong location does not help you at all. It is basically irrelevent, unless there are many other errors on the ticket as well.

I always recommend people plead not guilty, request a trial, request disclosure and then once you have received the disclosure, THEN you can decide whether to hire a paralegal or not. They will just charge you to do ...

FYI: The road side suspensions should NOT count against your insurance at all because it is an administrative penalty.

Plead not guilty and request a trial. Once you get your notice of trial, then you can request disclosure (officers notes, speed measuring device manual). Once you get disclosure, post it here so we can review it.

After you get the disclosure you can ask for meeting with prosecutor prior to the trial to see if they will offer you a plea deal. If ...

Personally I think it is just a money grab that they can get you for this charge when you are stopped at a red light... if you are not moving, then it should not be an issue. But anyways they CAN charge even when stopped, so my opinion on that does not matter.

IMO The position of the phone (where it is sitting or how it is mounted) has nothing to ...

You can not really know how to defend the charge until you plead not guilty, request a trial and get disclosure (officers notes).

But here are some thoughts, based on your description of events...

You may have a problem... most likely the officers notes will say that you were looking down while going thru the intersection. The officer will ...

Once the officer puts charge in system, they have no more say on whether it is dropped or not. Only prosecutor can drop it.

Best you can do is go show prosecutor the old slip and the new corrected slip and tell them everything. If the prosecutor is in a good mood they might drop it. But they do not have to drop it if they don't want to. Completely ...

Some police have cameras and some do not.

Yes freedom of information requests are possible, but if it relates to a charge then you ask for it in disclosure instead.

No, nothing you mentioned is a fatal error.

You should plead not guilty and request a trial. Once you get your notice of trial with the trial date, you can request disclosure (officers notes and copy of video). Once you get this information then you can better decide if you can fight it or not.

As for your video, if you are going to show it in ...
