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.
