Hi, I received a ticket a few months back for failure to obey stop sign but I am an expert in a field that can relate to my charge so I am planning on bringing up theories to support my case. My question is when do I bring them up - during cross examination or my defense? For example, is it better to say to the officer during cross examination 'Sir, have you ever heard of ____ theory?' to which he will reply 'no' and I will explain it, which will create doubt on his story or during cross examination do I just question him about what he already told the prosector? Any help as to when to bring t...

I was charged with failing to obey stop sign for which I have my trial date soon. I was just wondering that if I am convicted, I know that the justice asks for submissions from myself and the prosecutor for what the sentence should be. My ticket has a $110 charge and 3 demerit points and I care more about the points so is there anyway I could say that I think a reasonable sentence would be $110 charge but 0 points? Or if not, decreasing the amount of demerit points?

Thank you

Hello,
I received a traffic ticket for disobeying stop sign and the ticket says 'DISOBEY STOP SIGN - FOIL TO STOP' instead of 'FAIL' and I know this isn't a fatal flaw, but if I choose to not respond to the ticket (ie not do anything after 15 days), will this misspell become a fatal flaw? I know the Justice has to review the traffic ticket and if there is any error on it, it cannot be corrected and small errors can become fatal. I only have 2 more days to respond to the ticket so any input is greatly appreciated!

The issue is that the offence for which you plead guilty to has to somehow relate to the offence you actually committed. Thats why youll speeds lowered on speeding tickets, careless charges in rear end collisions changed to following too close, red light offences changed to disobey lane light, etc. A seatbelt charge has no relation whatsoever to the stop sign offence, therefor it cant be offered. So is there any offence that I can have as an alternative that I can plead guilty to as a non-moving offence? A red-light camera charge is somewhat similar but carries a $325 fine, which honestly I w...

The a does not look like an o; it is an o. The policeman wrote in capitals so the a's and o's are obvious. For example, he wrote 'HIGHWAY TRAFFIC ACT' and 'FOIL' so it is very clear that is an O. In response to the next lowest ticket: my total payable right now is 110.00 so if I plea guilty, the city gets $110.00 from me but I am paying thousands for the next few years in insurance hikes (no affect for the city). A charge of no seatbelt as a passenger is 110.00 but does not affect insurance so the city still receives 110.00 (same benefit for the city) and I avoid the insurance hike. Does this ...

Hi Stanton,
Thank you for your reply. This whole situation really bothers me so I was wondering also am I able to just meet with the prosecutor and change the charge to a non-moving violation like a large parking ticket, no seatbelt as a passenger, etc or does it have to be related to the original violation?

Hello, I was pulled over two nights ago and charged with failing to stop a stop sign. On the ticket, it says 'disobey stop sign - foil to stop' and does not say 'fail' -- something I think may be a fatal flaw? I have been driving for 12 years with no tickets, yet I live in Brampton where insurance prices are high so I do not want to be convicted as my insurance rates will spike significantly and I can hardly afford to drive my current car (an old one). I was thinking of meeting with the prosecutor and attempting to reduce the ticket to another charge with no demerit points as I don't mind payi...
