I live in Ottawa, Ontario (Canada). I got slapped with a ticket of $45 for violationing a Bylaw when I parked on a street infront of my doctors office. I parked within 3 M of a point on the curb or edge of roadway opposite a fire hydrant. Here's the details: I find a parking sign on the road that says NO PARKING < , which means that I can park to the right of the sign. So I park on the right side of the sign and put my front bumper right at it as there is already a vehicle parked behind me. The point is, my rear bumper turned out to be within 3 meters of a hydrant (which I only noticed after returning to my car and try to figure out why I received the ticket). The interesting part to me is why do they have the NO PARKING < sign in that location because any vehicle in the first spot indicated by the sign, is within 3 meters of the hydrant. The designated parking area should have been started one parking spot back as to no confuse people. The point is, should I argue this in court? Do I have a chance of winning? If I do, what should I say? Thank you for your help!
Courts in Toronto really like photos, as long as they have the following: - Photographer present in the courtroom for trial - Photograph taken on date of offence (date/time stamp if digital) - Originals available (if digital, on CD and in a "raw" format... like we discussed a few months ago) - Photograph printed at a regular photoshop like Black's, Shopper's Drug Mart Photo Centre or an independent retailer

i see a huge problem with any photo without a "date stamp" embedded on it. Whether it be for defence or prosecution. Photo can be taken prior to, can be taken months after.

The date stamp can be set to any day you want on the camera. ( I found that out, when I noticed my camera resets to the date of manufacture each time I change the batteries ) Just a FYI. Cheers Viper1

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.

I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.
Last night, at 7pm, I was at an intersection waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so that I could turn left. I thought that I was waiting at the intersection behind only one other vehicle (a van)…
So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
Late Saturday afternoon, December 1st, I entered the Shops at Don Mills with my vehicle and drove due East as I needed to make a quick deposit in the TD Bank. I made a left hand turn onto the side street and on the right side where I parked, there is a condo under construction with all the usual…
Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
