The French Language Service Act (FLSA) requires all services and procedures to be in both languages. It applies to ALL communications. If the part of the certificate or notice of offence that the cop fills in is not in both languages it doesn't pass the smell test.

Municipalities must pass by-laws in order for the bilingual thing to apply on ...

I am not saying leave out the TTC driver as a witness, i just want to weight the pro's and con's because things get more complicated when the TTC driver needs to be summoned or supeonaed.

If you can take picture or video to prove that it was impossible for the cop to see the street car door opened or closed from where he was standing and that may ...

I got one like that 2 years ago. I was not sure if there was 2 points so i called MTO twice and they told me there were 2 points.

I told them that there are 2 points if the charge was against HTA but my ticket was against a by-law, then they told me they just followed the table, prohibited turn is 2 points. If anybody has any solid info on this ...

I'm outside s/c. When I hear report of s/c horn sounding I turn to see s/c @ TTC stop doors open, stopped & grey mazda passes open doors slowly. I run across Gerrard & stop vehicle tell vehicle to go to Blackburn St.
(Also included is a little drawing of where he was standing relative to where my car was. This apprears accurate.)


From this, I ...

It's probably the year your sticker will expire 2011. If so, no error there.

Check if it is against a by-law then it is $18.75.
Does the sign say Mon-Fri 7AM-9AM or 4PM-6PM?

He may have paced you both. In any case fill out the form to contest the charge then get disclosure which will tell you how he catched both of you.
Once you know how then send follow-up disclosure requests asking for more specific evidence.

If the judge grants me an adjournment, what is the next step I take? Do I find out my next court date immediately, or should I go to the office there and line-up to request a new date (like I did for my original Court Date)?

Just asking... in case I excitedly walk outta there without doing something I should have done.

What you do next ...

Ok, so let me see if I got this right. Here is my action plan.
(Sorry I had to break it down like this, but I'm really nervous about this..it being my 1st time appearing in court.. so I don't want to screw up! I'll likely carry this list with me!)
:o


1. Ask prosecutor if cop is present. If not - case dismissed.
If he is present....

2. Ask ...

I think that MSN-talk is the 1-st language here, followed by English.

LOL..

They have a way of discouraging people from requesting disclosure. People don't get justice for free, it comes at a cost.

Let see, driver has to go in person to fill out the "Notice of trial", has to go in person to pick up disclosure, driver was given a court date not of his/her choice, now another $5 for disclosure (if disclosure is never sent ...

If the cop shows up, then you can take the pea bargain from the Crown who probably offers you 15 over or less which carries no point and less fine.

Alternatively you can fight the ticket with disclosure request and stay application for s11b and s7 charter of right.

You said that the police had no witness, how can he prove the careless driving charge in the court room? I think he will need a witness or the charge won't stick. There is a possibility that either of them will not show up. If they do show up, delay the trial.

Also ask for disclosure to see what evidence he has against you, you'll find out if he ...

Brand new speed trap, I've never seen it before for 6 years driving by the area. I've seen it for 2 consecutive weekends so far.

Just got cleared of a speeding ticket, i almost got dinged for another one.

I was driving around 68 in 60 zone on sheppard west bound coming to Leslie, 3 wide lanes street, almost empty road (only 3 cars on the road ...

You are right, you don't want to receive disclosure a few days before trial, so don't send any more request from now to trial date.

You can apply for a stay but i am not sure what the chance of being granted one is. If a stay is denied they may want to delay the trial even if the cop does not show.

On the other hand, without filing for a stay you ...

File a "notice of intention to appear" if you have not done so, check the box challenge the police officer's evidence, and also check the box "interpreter required" if English is your second language.

Wait in the mail for your "Notice of trial" then request for disclosure. Disclosure will let you know how the officer recorded your speed, until ...

My wife got a ticket for failing to stop for a school bus.We're figthing that in the court. We've requested the disclosure package and we're told that they'll call us to pick up the package. We never received a call so far and we have a court date in 3 weeks. What are our options? Under which section/sub-section of the highway act it mentiond ...

I just got a ticket for a prohibited right turn. Bay St. southbound onto Richmond. Is the bilingual defense still valid?

As an aside I told the officer (and I wasn't lying) that I just saw a fight break out between a guy in a black 2 door Accord and a guy on a bike at Bay and Queen. The guy on the bike beat the hell out the Accord and then the ...

I got a ticket too and it happens to be invalid (old version)!, Interesting.

In my case was a friend who was driving my car. Is there any chance I can plead guilty (Option 2) and get a lesser fine?.

My record is clean, this is the first ticket I got and now I know the ticket is invalid.

Is it for sure that this kind of ticket is not going to ...

Backroom bribery, i second that.

Cchapman, i got 2 tickets of this type (already posted in the forum) no left turn 7AM-9AM, one against a by-law, one against HTA.

Both charges were voluntarily dropped by the Crown when i showed up in court (Markham & 401) although cops were there on both ocassions.

...I asked him to mail the disclosure but he refused that. He cannot prseume that I'll lie even if I get it in mail. His demand is unreasonable as I have to take a day off at work to pick up the disclosure. Now, it's plenty of time and the prosecutor can easily mail it. .....

I think the rule says that disclosure is not to be mailed. You must ...

You may see other fishes he caught on that day in the same court room, so stay back and watch how the prosecutor deals with other fishes then decide.

I would be worried more about insurance implication, not sure if there is.
Do you know? if not call your insurance anonymously to find out.

This seems not a serious violation compared to stop sign ...

Can you provide the link for the city appeal case? Thanks

If the cop shows up, the prosecutor will tell you that he is there if you ask.
If the cop is not there (yet), the prosecutor could say "he won't be here today" or "he may be late" if you ask.

I would check the court docket first, if the cop's ID appears with many drivers names on the docket, i would guess he will show up.

To ID him, you can ask ...

I don't think you need them when you go to your trial. You can retrieve your offense number, officer's ID# from the court docket posted in front of the court room.

It looks like there is witness other than the police officer required to make out the offense. Your disclosure will tell if there actually is. And if so both of them have to be in court for the prosecutor to secure a conviction against your uncle.
There may be a chance that one of them does not show.

The time frame is within the guide line of "unreasonable delay" for a s11(b).

If you are going for s7 (improper disclosure) for a stay, an additional s11(b) will strengthen the application.

If the event happened long ago, many officers don't remember exactly what happened unless there was something unique that jolts their memory. They pretty much count on their notes.

He possibly make an error or he may have differrent interpretation of what's on the note, you may want to post more details, Hiway Bear may be able to help you to ...

If it is your 1st ticket, it may not affect your insurance rate, you have the option to take the plea bargain from the prosecutor, no point, less fine.

In any case send out the request for disclosure, then you have a month to research and decide what to do at trial.

If the cop and the TTC driver show up you either take the plea bargain or delay ...

I don't like to drive in toronto either, too many cops these days, no more comfortable and enjoyayable driving, i just have to keep my guard up constantly.

Ok so the cop did not see what happened, then he needs the TTC driver on the witness stand. Disclosure it is. Once you get disclosure you will have a clearer picture of how to proceed with the ...
