Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Both of those words are not present in the definitions section of the HTA.

A "Ticket" is referred to as an "Offence Notice" [it says so on the ticket itself] and traffic will most likely follow meaning based on current popular Dictionary [Miriam Webster etc.]. And it will be most likely be agreed that the word traffic is to be used in its noun ...

In searching around on CanLii I found some of the issues in this case [possibly] arising in this one: http://canlii.ca/t/flm3k

I think it'd be a good beginning, you should read through the case law from that case [especially anything relating to S. 9/10(a)] as it sounds that you were arbitrarily detained without a stated purpose and then wrongly ...

Radar, you are correct, the Officer [especially given the 15-20 minute investigative questioning] was required to inform Jeff of the reason for his detention. That's a basic privilege as protected under Section 10 of the Charter. As for appeals, well, I'd have to spend some time digging through case law. Logically, it would make sense for the ...

He was within his rights to start asking questions about your exchange with the prostitute as well.

I believe this is misinformation. There was no crime, and although the PO could ask whatever he wanted, he didn't have to receive an answer. When you're pulled over by the Police, your only obligation is to cooperate in providing your Driver's ...

I'd suggest giving Redline Legal Services a call. They have the best reputation in the GTA as far as my research went. Make sure to Google any paralegal service prior to entering into a contract, to see what is said in discussion forums etc. You'll want to find someone who is thorough, and who is actually interested in pursuing things for the long ...

11b motion delay calculations, if I'm not mistaken, are being made based on the R. v. Andrade case. http://canlii.ca/t/fn8jv

I too wonder how the new Option will change the clock calculations.

As Boris said, you'd be asking the JP for a remedy due to late disclosure, which would most likely be an adjournment [for which you'd then put the Prosecutor at fault for in terms of delay]. I also am not sure if you can ask for a stay specifically based on Charter issues without first notifying the Attorney General of Ontario, and Canada. R. v ...

Don't forget to update us on how things went!

After a date has been set for adjournment, before things wrap up.

That's perfect. Tomorrow, when you go to court, approach the Prosecutor before court and introduce yourself so they can find your charges in their file. Ask them politely if they have your disclosure. If they don't, you will go to the court room and wait to be called up.

Three Scenarios:

1. No disclosure provided prior to trial. You get called ...

Yes, as of the most recent appeal in the case of R. v. Vellone ( http://canlii.ca/t/fpbgf ), verbal questions of Charter issues cannot be raised at trial without first notifying at least the Attorney General of Ontario. More arguments and decisions are yet to come, but as of now, you can't do it.

How many times have you requested disclosure? How ...

Hi There.

First off, a speeding charge is separate from the red light camera charge. Police have 6 months to charge you with that, but it's a separate charge in itself.

Secondly, the Justice of Peace doesn't reduce the fine, at least not in the way you think. That's a discussion that occurs between you and the Prosecutor when you offer to plea ...

You are fantasizing. He was driving in the opposite direction. This kind of operation is physically imposible, when a relative speed is over 100km/h.


We sent people to the moon more than 40 years ago using analog technology. And you think it's impossible to capture an oncoming car's speed using radar inside a moving vehicle in 2012? As ...

No, the "judge" [Justice of Peace in POA court] cannot drop charges. Only the Prosecutor can withdraw a charge. A Justice of Peace can stay a charge given trial commencement and arguments made towards why a stay of charges would be the best remedy. It's not an easy feat.

250TB for one division? If it's for the entire force, then it's not much. I imagine in the future, each division would have its own storage room, with data going out on shuttles when needed.

And you backed up my point OPS with the outrage caused by deleted evidence [I'm guessing software would be made that needed human verification prior to ...
