I was going with my friends to downtown Toronto, so we can have some late night chinese food.. (MmmMmmm..) 1 person in the back seat, one in the passenger, and me driving. I approached the lights in the left lane, I could SWEAR it was green, and made my turn. It was 3 am.. DEAD.. no cars in site, except for the officer sitting on the same street I was turning into, and a few meters behind me... maybe 20 meters behind? Anyways, pulls me over, and slaps me with a red light ticket. No drinking from all of us, no drugs. (we don't even smoke... we're pretty boring, now that I think of it! :( ) I went in with 1 of my friends, and delayed the trial to AUG since I want both my friends ( witnesses ) there. I requested the disclosure. Can BARELY read it, and not all of it to this day. I have attached a pic of the ticket, and disclosure, and what I can make out to what I think it says.... Can anyone shoot me some advice? My friends in the car also said they didn't notice any red. As far as all 3 of us are concerned, it was green for us. Also, only 1 officer exited the car, and I believe no other was present in his car. I believe I can safely argue that 6 eyes are better than 2. There was some light rain and damp roads. But all our visibility was 100%. No issues. The disclosure has some extra writing on it clearly added after the original disclosure was written, with different shade, and type of pen from what I can tell. I do not know if this was done by the officer or someone else, or someone that checks the state of the weather that day, and adds it if the disclosure is requested? I don't know. I feel it should not be touched or altered after the moment it was written. But that's just my opinion. Anyways, pictures attached, advice appreciated... This is what I feel the disclosure said so far... --------------------------------- ?????

Re: Red light ticket NO camera

Yes, that makes very good sense. My response was at: OPS Copper As his response to me was that the officer simply changed pens and continued to write. I was pointing out to him, that is not the case here.

Again, your scan is a copy of the ticket that the officer uses for his NOTES. The officer can add whatever information he wants after the stop. Clearly there is additional information added directly to the note copy that won't be on the original ticket, since the information was made for the officer's recollection. It's not an actual amendment to the ticket itself, which would be improper.
