Hey guys this is my second time posting. A while back actually about 5 month ago I got a ticket for proceeding contrary to sign at intersection 144(9). When the officer was asking me for my insurance and drivers license, i did not have the new insurance slip, 
thus he also gave me a ticket for…
Hello all
(simon or anyone else can feel free to answer)
I requested disclosure of a radar manual in original disclosure request. Didn't get disclosure until trial date, so an adjournment was granted. At that time the Provincial Prosecutor stated that it wasn't his policy to release the manual to…

Hey folks. New forumer here.
Just curious to hear a few opinions on the following video taken at a photo enforced intersection.
As you can see, the light was still yellow for a fraction of a second as the camera-car entered the intersection (crossed the stop line), but it was close.
I drive a Honda Civic and we all know how those are when it comes to theft. On my driveway my brothers car was stolen twice and once broken in to. Also a few other cars have been stolen on my street. I have an alarm and all that. But say my alarm was going off and I ran outside and fought off the…
Hello all, yesterday I received a ticket for parking in a handicapped spot outside of school. I was done classes and had to load up my van with some very heavy and awkward items for transport. I had been parked in the garage across the street for the duration of my classes and decided to bring…
Sometimes I find plain simple English not quite so simple:

Hi, recently I was driving home around 2:30pm from the bus stop I drive to in order to bus to school. I was traveling down Kennedy just past 19th seatbelt on, doing the speed limit. About one and a half kilometers past the intersection of Kennedy and 19th a fox sprinted across the road. I swerved…
Question about the picture
so i got a ticket of 325 dollars apparently on my last day of work...
i read somewhere that the intersection needs to be on the picture? is this true? by looking at these pictures there is no way to tell what interestion the picture was taken at. no street sign or anything. just a petro can...
the sun was in my face as well if that makes any difference. i dont want this ticket at all even if it doesnt affect my insurance.
Re: Question about the picture
The ticket needs to state which intersection the offence took place at, but I'm not aware of any requirement for the street signs to be visible in the photograph itself.
As for saying you were blinded by the sun, it's not a valid defence in Court. Red light camera tickets are what's known as absolute liability offences. Basically if committed the offence, it doesn't matter why. Short of there being an error on the ticket itself where you could get it withdrawn, typically your best option is to agree to plead guilty in exchange for a reduced fine.
Re: Question about the picture
i was referring to this which was in another post.
"However, I found an interesting ruling from the COURT OF APPEAL FOR ONTARIO regarding the admissibility of the photograph(s) as evidence (Waterloo (Regional Municipality) v. Yan, 2004 CanLII 32076 (ON C.A.)) which may assist some. The important sections of the ruling are 26-31. Essentially, the court ruled that the photograph "must" display the date, time and location of the offence either within the photograph itself or superimposed on it. The use of alpha-numeric values, without any means to interpret them, are not sufficient (32). "
Should i just pay it or what?
i got a red light camera ticket. i am currently unemployed ( ticket was ironically on my last day of work...) i understand insurance wont be involved but i just dont have 325 bucks to hand over. sadly i have gotten many tickets in the past and i have always gone to fight them and the cop didnt show up for any of them. in this case there is no cop to show up so if i take option 2, what would i say or do at the court? i dont know why but my anxiety is very high about this and i just dont know what to do. id probably start crying like a baby in the court...geez
Re: Question about the picture
Well talk to the Prosecutor and explain what circumstances you are in, and that you will plead guilty in exchange for a joint submission for a lesser fine. Worth a try vs. handing over $325, given your situation.
