Ontario Highway Traffic Act

If the car is not registered to you, there is no fear they will show up at your house, the only way that would happen is if they could positively identify you...they may show up at the registered owners house though...you may want to have a chat with the registered owner and advise them the possibility does exist that the police may end up knocking ...

The minimum fine is $300...prosecutor may, or may not go for that...you can also ask for extra time to pay.

Am I missing something...who said "forces" the officer to lay a charge?
EphOph, what was the outcome of that trial where you helped a person fight their ticket?

The officer got 3 readings of you doing 85...you were doing a steady speed of 85...no angles, no typos...good notes by the officer...

Yes the officers will still show up, translators are used...

Distance alone will not get you a speed, you also need time between the objects to be able to calculate speed. Then there is the parallax effect in the video which may throw off the exact distances between objects...I would say there is not a court in the land that would convict on a straight speeding charge based on a video alone, even if you ...

I would like to counter what jsherk in part..."if the police come to door you can ask them to leave your property (unless they have a search warrant)". Perhaps the nice police officer was there to follow up on a complaint, was going to issue a warning, education over enforcement perhaps, but since you played the get off my property card he will do ...

The MTO will do a search on commercial plates and if there is a cvor # attached they will issue the cvor points, if there are any. Often police officers don't even know what a cvor # is and don't put it in, for any charge, when the mto gets the conviction notice they search it and assess the points to the plate holder.

How could the officer amend the ticket after he filed it?
Once it is filed, it is in the courts hands, it is not retained by the police...

A copy of the insurance card is not ok...a copy of the ownership is...

Just go to Service Ontario and as them to run the number.
You can always go to one of the MTO weigh scale stations and they will run the number on their system...CVOR's are now on an annual renewal...so I would think your number is long since expired...

The council may propose the change but it will have to be passed through a change in the legislation if the police are to accept them. I see too many problems with an electronic version of any document...Electronic versions of Log Books for commercial motor vehicle drivers is common now, however, they must still be able to print out a copy of their ...

There is case law that says minimum fines are not to be lowered...having said that, some Justices of the Peace will still lower it...it will be a *EDIT* shoot when you get into court as to which one you will get...so asking for relief under section 59(2) of the Provincial Offences Act may not work.

There is a zero% chance of you going to jail...

Set fines are for those that wish to pay their fine and not dispute the ticket. Once you choose to go to trial, the set fines are out the window...Under section 78.1(6.1) -the penalty section: " every person who contravenes this section is guilty of an offence and on conviction is liable to a fine of not less than $300 and not more than $1,000 ...
