Re: HTA 144.18

The trial was initiated by the cop who charged you. He has an obligation by law to be in court. If you believe youre going to win the case on merit you can demand the court issue a warrant for his arrest.

You can sue him in Small Claims Court for little expense on your part for your costs and any economic loss for the day.

For example, you ...

Yes, maximum fines of $1900. Minimum fines $161. Plus you could lose your licence or permit for 6 months. But no jail time.

Re: How much trouble am i in?

If you didn't buy the car how can you have a bill of sale?

You haven't been to court on this at all yet right?

In other words, you haven't pleaded not guilty yet?

Tomorrow you will only enter a plea. You set the trial date.

The judge needs to help you and make sure you understand. You can ask the judge to order the Crown provide you disclosre ...

Re: How much trouble am i in?

You need to plead not guilty. I think you're only entering a plea tomorrow and setting a trial date. We'll help you walk your way through this.

On wat date did you buy the car?

You need to make a disclosure request so you can see why you were stopped and what evidence they will use against you.

Re: How much trouble am i in?

Why did he stop you in the first place?

You say the offence took place on August 28. On what date did you buy the car?

Provision of the HTA that do not indicate a fine are subject to s. 214.

Section 214(1) provides for fines ranging from $60 to $500. Section 214(2) provides for a fine of not more than $50.

The decision is in the discretion of ...

Re: Nitrous and its implications

Even when cops are off duty they can still make arrests, but they must witness the crime. You committed no offence. But given his comments, you can see the bad attitude some of them have.

Re: Nitrous and its implications

In my view, this is an absolute liability offence. Courts have determined offences employing the "no person shall" or "every driver shall" formulation are interpreted as absolute liability offences.

I have heard that also, but have not seen anything in B&W. I heard it was going to be in October and apparently a 320 page document. This info I have was from a local paralegal, who said literally said "I don't have time to read all that BS, as it apparently it is a rights issue and yet driving clearing written is a priviledge".

Re: New Member? Come and say Hi and Introduce yourself here! :)

In my view, you have too many thread stickied. You should have no more than 2 threads pinned, the others should float like all other threads. This way the popular threads stay at the very top of this section of the board.

Just a suggestion, though.

Re: Fire trucked Siezed under 172

Cops investigating cops is total Hogwash, though.

There should be a citizen panel that investigates cops complaints for any reason with appeals to the court.

I'm glad you're here. And you're clearly a decent guy and good cop. I read a bunch of threads now and see that you offer good advice and opinions. But I'm more impressed by the fact that you don't pretend to claim you know everything and admit you want to learn. Law is so vast its not really possible to know everything ...
