Sound like someone in TO is tired of slow drivers...

You have an excellent chance of having the charge stayed if you make a proper 11B argument - dismiss the charge based on delay, instead of proving that point in court.

Satellite images are usually 5 years old or so, if not more. You should use an actual, recent, printed map in this case. What are you trying to show with it?

I would say that your insurer is messing with you. Get some quotes from other people, and quote them instead.

I tried to anti-alias the notes and bring up the res:

As for doing the "court thing", there are a lot of general things you need to do. Read any of the cases here and follow the recommendations.

Are you talking about the map, or the streetview? You chould use an actual map, or an actual photo.

Google products as these are for "entertainment only", and should not be used as a reference. Think about it - they have mapped a million of streets, all for free, what are the chances that there as not one mistake?

Unless the prosecutor moves quick, that may be the case. You can make an argument that it does not take much time to photocopy the stuff needed. If your friend only has 4 weeks left, I would still ask for it and see what happens.

As for your next sticker, use some rubbing alcohol/Windex to clean the old sticker from grit and grease to make the new one stick.

Drivers MUST yield to transit buses. It is the law now. Looks like charge was mis-laid there.

Current set fines can be found on the following government page:

This should be used as a reference whether your set fine amount is incorrect. Note that the fines are subject to change. Set fines do not include the surcharge. For the reference, Victim Surcharge is as ...

The only way to argue with a cop is at the courthouse.

You cannot be found not guilty if you do not plead not guilty.

http://www.ontario.ca/en/services_for_residents/stel02_155923 shows the proper position of the validation sticker.

Someone might know better if there exists a regulation about that. Just because something is not in the OHTA does ...

There is no set minimum time, as a lot of people don't even know that they can request disclosure, find this site, read over, "Oh *EDIT*" response kicks in, and they scramble to request disclosure a week before the date, and then adjourn.

Realistically, it should not take the prosecution more than 8 weeks, so I would say 2 months before trial ...

I appologize for the seemingly random question, but would I be allowed to post the hand written noted of the police office I received as part of the disclosure.

I ask, because some short hand is hard to read and understand and I am hoping for your assistance in understanding them.

thank you

hwybear made a good point that you can post the info ...

A LOT of people never request disclosure. Those who come to this forum all do for some reason though :lol:

Really, if you plan on using the incorrect fine line of defence then there is no need to get the disclosure. You can still request it though, either now or when you receive the court date. You can ask for disclosure now, but most people wait ...

Check this out: http://www.attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.c ... -forms.asp

Seems like you can ask the court to waive the transcript fee.

Got the ruling today. The ticket was quashed.

As this was a first level OCJ ruling, it isn't binding so you don't necessarily need the case law to make the same argument. I have to check with the defendant tonight to see if she's OK with me plastering her name all over the internet.

Anyone can make the same argument in court. The argument is a ...

I would exclude "Statements made by defendant", but otherwise looks fine. Paralegals or 'Bear might comment better though.

Was there a OHTA sub noted?

Section 143 and subsection 144 (9) of the Highway Traffic Act and any municipal by-law prohibiting turns, from our Demerit Points Table: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com ... points.php , does award 2 demerits, even though these are by-law infractions.

There might be. Get the disclosure, read up on the 106, and do your homework.

Yeah, the fight implies pleading not guilty.
You can beat the ticket on technicality, or a cop no-show. Paying means that you plead guilty. Many a time a ticket has been dismissed or dropped. You can always talk to the prosecutor and see if he wants to offer you a deal that you cannot refuse.

And even if you loose - well, you fought the fight!

Well the wild guess would be that the clerk with a half brain tells that to the prosecutor, who then notifies the cop, and then it's all fair again

You can request the trial by yourself.

You can also represent yourself (I think that this is what you are asking about).

I would say go back to that court and tell the clerk about it.

As a possible defence method, get to the courthouse ASAP with the proper permit. Get that out of the way.

Then fight the 144(9) (prohibited turn) separately. You are right, it carries 2 points (the points are awarded, not deducted).

it sounds impossible to beat. i have been reading into the traffic combat website. i intend to use the advise therein. so wow, if someone is not sure that they are suspended and tells the officer this, it actually helps their case? by claiming ignorance?

also, with the courts being so backed up, what are the chances an officer will show up after ...

Was there a sign set up advising of the reduced speed limit?

This ticket was given to my 78yr old disabled Mother(with displayed disability permit) dwntwn Toronto few month ago.. But Horray to her cause would you believe she took a picture of where she was, because she had taken my advice- to Keep a cheap camera in glove compartment or trunk.
She was actually on a small but busy side street and the picture ...

Congrats on an easy win! Shows what coming prepared can do to prosecution's cases.
