I want to thank you all for your help. I've decided to hire a paralegal and I've brought up some points frmo here to him, most of which were valid points against the police.
You've made an otherwise unfourtunate situation into a learning experience. In either case, all information was helpful, and should anyone be interested, I can keep you posted ...

Re: Going 50km over in an 80
Reflections: Thank you kindly for your answer. I didn't think it was possible, but seeing as I've never been in this situation before, I thought it'd be a good idea to ask. Let's say, just for safety, I don't have a paralegal, is it basically 'suicide' to be defending myself and explaining why I should keep my license by myself, sans paralegal ...

Re: Going 50km over in an 80
People are also saying when I go to my court date, if convicted, they could still impound the car. Is this true? Because I haven't read it anywhere else, nor did the officer say they were planning on doing so, although they aren't obligated to.

Re: Going 50km over in an 80
Yes, it was under section 128 and he didn't tow the car or take my license. This happened in Ottawa, on bank street.

Going 50km over in an 80
Tonight, I was pulled over for apparently doing 132km in an 80km zone. Although I'd only caught myself doing 120km(yes, still over, I'm aware). After about 30 min of sitting on the side of the road, the officer came over and kindly decided not to take away my license or impound the car on the spot. I did not recieve any fines. He did, however, give ...
