Re: Requirement to Open Window?

It would not work, there are no absolute rights in Canada. Random spot checks for impaired drivers would require you to open a window. An officer also has the power to check the mechanical fitness of your vehicle at any time and while doing so may require you to exit the vehicle. If it's any consolation you may keep your window shut all you want ...

Re: Roadside Trailer Seizure without impound order? + ticket

Sorry I forgot about the personal use exemption they came out with a few years back (living in the past I guess). Basically to qualify your vehicle should not have been modified in any significant way (if it's a pickup it must have the original box on it) and must not be engaging in most commercial activities. What I said is true but only if you ...

Re: Roadside Trailer Seizure without impound order? + ticket

I think you're lucky you didn't get buggered up with the CVOR issue.

If your truck and trailer are registered for or are actually over 4500 kg then a CVOR would be required. (There are a few exceptions but I don't believe you qualify)

If you are deemed to be commercial vehicle you could have been charged with the following in addition to what you ...

Re: Requirement for police to identify themselves when asked

I don't see how a policy (real or not) requiring an officer identifying themselves has anything to do with charges related to the HTA.

Re: Failing to obey stop sign: Section 136(1)(a) or (1)(c)??

I agree, it does not resemble an A in any way.

Since it has a plate number on it, can someone please delete this photo?

Re: 2003 New Brunswick speeding ticket paid through 2014 inc

Cosmic bliss....

You got a fatal error on a ticket quashed and now you were forced to pay a debt from a long time ago that has zero impact on your life.

I wish the Federal Government would deduct income tax refunds from all the people who owe me money.

Re: Failing to obey a stop sign - video recorded evidences

This is one you would want to take to court showing a different car in the video.... until it shows a car being driven by you not stopping. But if the video doesn't capture you not stopping but shows a car different from the one on the ticket being driven by you then you would have a tremendous edge during the trial. The officers error in failing ...

Re: Cop told me to take ticket to court

I'm going to go out on a limb here seeing how the cell phone law didn't exist when you were born I would try forcing the fatal error.

I don't know that it would be successful but given the kind of ticket you got you don't really have much to lose.

Any other thoughts on this one?

Re: Just "beat" my Careless Driving charge thanks to you guy

Congrats on beating the ticket. I'm guessing your accident was still deemed 100 percent your fault by the insurance, so I don't know you'll find affordable coverage for some time.

Re: Handheld Device, court tmr. Maybe officer on my side

The officer will testify as to what is in his notes he's just a witness like you. You will challenge the officers credibility on cross examination and/or give your own conflicting testimony stating that you are absolutely certain you were not holding a phone. The prosecutor is the one who will challenge your version of events. If you are the more ...

Re: Golf Carts and Kids

I recall driving a farm tractor at that age, others may have driven a go-cart. The responsibility rests with the parents if she causes damage or injury. If she is on private property the posted speed limit and licensing/insurance requirements would not apply. If you feel she is driving dangerously approach a local police detachment and ask them to ...

Re: Speeding 138 kmh in a 70 contruction zone - Gardiner

The officer has 6 months to charge you.

Three things could happen:

1) Nothing (unlikely)

2) Officer comes to your home with a summons for speeding 68 over and stunt driving. I don't know that they will impound the car and retroactively suspend your license once they have already released it to you, it defeats the purpose of an immediate ...
