Ontario Highway Traffic Act

Here, the crown often says "the officer is not here but I can have him come in if necessary". And even m

Don't lose the pics and video. By the time you get to trial the sign may be fixed. Happened to me but I had the video and pictures.

Good catch. That's pretty amusing.

Moreover I can't see what would be useful in the manual other than the testing and operation portion of the manual.
Shouldn't the defendant be allowed to read the operation manual so the he/she can understand how it was supposed to be used? Are we expected to believe that the officer followed procedure just because he said he did?

IMO at least ...

Why won't they disclose it? Because they don't want you to know what's in there and they sure don't want it to appear on the internet that's why. First I believe they will say it's irrelevant and if that fails I believe they will say its copywrite protected and if that fails i believe they will drop the charge. Jsherk I think you have zero chance ...

Best idea of to quit going to there. I stopped there once. Never again.

+1, if you bring this up before trial it will simply be corrected.
But , if you get the officer on the stand, you could use this in conjunction with other matter(s) to bring reasonable doubt and to the fact that the officer is only human and can make a mistake .
Thus, perhaps he made a mistake reading the speed on his radar the same way he made a ...

Big bully steals lunch money from little kid. The little kid says it's not fair but the big bully challenges him to a fight at recess. Recess comes and the little kid shows up to fight. The big bully realizes he has picked a fight with the wrong kid and he is better off making up some excuse about why he can't fight than to be embarrassed in front ...

+1. The crown will most likely be allowed to correct the time error and your trial will proceed.

I'm still unclear if you were in a posted 50 zone. You were in a posted 60 then you got a ticket for doing 70 in a 50. Did you fail to see or heed a 50 begins sign?

As for you accelerating to 70 from a stop. I would begin by searching the internet for performance tests on your car to see how quickly the tests say it accelerates. Then I would go ...

I Just want to understand this.
1. You have proof that the speed limit is 50 at night and 60 by day?
2. The cop is lying about your speed.
3. You feel your vehicle can't accelerate to 70 in the specified distance?
Is that correct?

I've followed worse especially just before school starts. And speaking of commercial vehicles, yes we are held to a higher standard. I successfully defended myself in Pennsylvania over an insecure load charge. I made a video showing how difficult it was to get the 4x4 timbers from their storage position on my trailer. I showed the video to the jp ...

There is definitely info in the operator portion that is relevant and material to many speeding defendants. I successfully used some of the information to defend myself. The JP may allow the crown railroad the defense but I bet the appeal judge won't. And since the police and the crown will rather dismiss than have a appeal court ruling against ...

Why should you have to prove to the judge the manuals are different? JP said the crown could let you see IT. IT does not mean any manual. IT means the correct manual. The crown did not do what they were supposed to do.

I would move to dismiss. If the trial goes ahead then I appeal. At appeal, I ask for a copy of the manual again. I bet the crown ...

I agree Screech. Nobody wants stuff falling on the road but those doors aren't coming out of that pickup unless he puts it on two wheels. I guess I'll have to think twice about putting my groceries in the bed of my pickup from now on. I would plead not guilty and dare the crown to defend the writing of that ticket.
