Red Light Ticket Brampton

I did some research on this site and wish to clarify some points.

1.) No mention of whether I was going East or West bound on Queen St........................ Is this the norm?

2.) If I go to court as "not guilty" the signing officer will not be present??

3.)Is it not necessary for him to be there?

4.) Reducing the fine can only be done meeting the prosecutor at the court house.

Thanks for all your help in the past
