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. My court date is Aug 7. My paralegal said he may even be able to not make it go to court. So until then, or hopefully sooner, thank you all!

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? Lawman: To you, thank you aswell for clearing the car impound situation up. So, is this what they do, even for 50kpm over the speed limit? Charge 9.75 approx. for each kilometer you were doing over the speed limit? Why shouldn't I plead guilty? Just ask...

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.

Yes, it was under section 128 and he didn't tow the car or take my license. This happened in Ottawa, on bank street. What I'm concerned about is the most possible consequence. Are we talking license suspended? 10000 dollar fine? Yes, I'm sure I'm over thinking it, but I'd rather prepare myself. Everyone is telling me because this is my first offence, i most likely will get the minimum fine and max points and probable license suspension. I also had a witness in the car who also said to me she didn't see me going this fast. She said she'd only seen 120. ( yes, i know stillk fast but it's also a ...

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 me a court date in August. Never mentioning what could/will happen. This was also my first time ever being pulled over, and I'm 19 years old. I'm looking for some answers as I'm terrified of the consequences. I do realise I was speeding. Has anyone ...
