Re: Need help

If you previously had a license they would probably show up at the MTO against your license and you could just pay it there, but if you have never had a license then that does not help you.

You will probably have to call each city and confirm the amount owing and how you can pay them. Most fines and tickets can be paid online now. Alternatively ...

Re: speeding 31km/h

Yes, Decatur is right. I somehow had it in my head that fog was listed in the radar manuals as a source of interference, but I checked and it is not! Sorry.

Re: Question regarding: Disobey stop sign - HTA 136 (1) (a)

So the prosecutor has the option (but is not required) to offer you a plea deal. It is totally up to them whether they will do it or not. This would happen before you get up in front of the Justice of the Peace.

The car being manual and shifting while still being in motion does not help you, but would actually strengthen the case against you.

Re: Question regarding: Disobey stop sign - HTA 136 (1) (a)

1. No this will not help you at all, as officers can use their discretion on who/when to issue a ticket.

2. Yes this would be a helpful line of questioning during cross-examination, but by itself will probably not get you off.

Since insurance increases are an issue, even with 0 demerit point charges, you would need to specifically know what ...

Re: Ticketed For Parking in a Handicap Spot

Once you get up in front of the JP you need to make sure that you clearly say:
-how many requests you made
-when you made them
-and that you have not received disclosure yet (or you just got it within the last couple weeks) and therefore you have not had time to prepare your defense
-you need an adjournment, which of course is inconvenient because ...

Re: speeding 31km/h

Did they give you more pages of the manual than just the cover page?

So my question would be, why are the test times written down together. There should have been an entry at 6am saying it was tested and then another after they wrote the ticket.

Also, fog can cause errors with radar as the moisture reflects the signal.

Anyways, these would be a ...

Re: speeding 31km/h

6am-8:40am ... not sure what this means. It could mean he tested it at 6 and then again at 8:40? Or it could mean that he tested it once sometime between 6 and 8:40? What time did he pull you over (time on your ticket)?

Weather is mostly irrelevent to your case and officer omitting it will not get your case dropped.

Re: Need help

Can you be more specific please...

You said "you guess" you never had a licence... what does that mean?

What is "a lot" of fines?

What are these fines for?

Are the different cities all in Ontario or another province or USA?

Re: Siezed plates

As far as plates, I would go to MTO and say you want to cancel the old ones because the officer took them and you do not know where they are and that you would like new ones. It is important that you cancel them as you are responsible for them as long as they are in your name. Who knows where they will end up!

What are the actual section numbers ...

Re: Siezed plates

Go to MTO office and ask them about plates.

As far as summon, you should pretty much never just plead guilty. When you arrive at the summons date, this is NOT your trial date, so I recommend you tell them "I would like disclosure before I decide how to plead." They will then set another summons date for you, and the prosecutor will have to get you ...

Officers of the Court

Just a question out of curiosity... Are Judges and Justice of the Peace considered Officer's of the Court?

Section 80 of Courts of Justice Act would lead me to belive that a Judge is NOT an Officer of the Court, and that they are distinct:
