Ontario Highway Traffic Act

There can also be a licence suspension under that act as well...

There is no set fine for a no insurance charge as well as the Use Validation Not Furnished For Vehicle charge , therefore, they have to be summones. If properly laid, the other charge should also have been a summmons. A lawyer or paralegal will charge a pile of money to defend this charge ($1,500-$2,000 type of thing) for which he says he is guilty ...

Wow, you got pulled over for stunt driving and got those tickets! You should change your name to LuckyDuck...

I knew there was more to this story...Charge #3 cleared up the mystery of the seized plates...Prosecutor would likely take a plea to the insurance charge and withdraw the other two...Given the fine amount, you can request an extended amount of time to pay (a year), if you are making regular payments within that year, you can ask for a further ...

Not all prosecutors defer to the officer's opinion. Once the charge is laid, it becomes the prosecutor's territory and some of them do not care what the officers thinks. The better prosecutors will ask for the officer's opinion on a case as they were the ones dealing with the accused on the side of the road (this is where the whole be nice to the ...

Agreed...courts have accepted an experienced officers abiltiy to quickly determine if a motor vehicle was speeding, even if they just popped up over a hill...That optical sight has 8X magnification

I agree, just trying to figure out why they were seized to begin with...they would not be seized for no insurance or for an expired val tag.

If those plates were in your name, and were for that car, I don't know why the plates were seized. What exactly were the two charges? (including section numbers)...

They don't have to visually estimate the speed, that has been gone for quite a while. The officer must be able to say the vehicle appeared to be traveling at a rate of speed which was higher than the posted speed limit (if actually posted), or just higher than the speed limit if not posted. You can ask for the whole manual in disclosure but you won ...

There is little to no hope that they will reduce the charge to 49 over. If you were doing in the low 150's, maybe, not at 66 over the limit. Given your young age, and the very high rate of speed, I highly doubt you will get a deal on this. Likely the only break you will get is the amount of the fine, again, given your young age, and ability to pay ...

You are heading in the right direction. The prosecutor will likely offer a plea deal early. Don't take the deal until you are very sure of your position. Deals can be made and accepted or rejected right up to the very moment the trial begins, it depends on the prosecutor. Even JP's will stand down cases so the prosecutor and defendant can discuss ...

If there was an obvious mistake on the cops part, and it sounds like there was, the prosecutor should just withdraw the charge as there is no likelyhood of conviction. Only the front windshield, and the windows in the driver's compartment need to be clear. If the cop is saying it was because of windows in the rear that were not able to afford the ...

What will that dash cam video show? You never said you stopped. If the video shows you did not stop, there is a good chance you will still be convicted, even with the problems with the notes.
You will more than likely be given an adjournment, however, they may say you should have asked for the video sooner, you waited 19 days before requesting ...

The thing about disclosure is, you can't just sit in the bushes and do nothing then leap out at the last minute saying you never got it and want to put it over. The JP may rule against you for waiting until trial day to bring it up. You have to show you actively went after disclosure, and if not obtained in a reasonable amount of time, you have to ...

The wrong plate number is a non issue. The witness box is for the prosecution side, it lets the prosecutor know how many witnesses he will have should this matter go to trial (it has to do with the amount of time the prosecutor requests for trial).
