Whether you own the vehicle or not has no bearing on what a fine should be in this case, and most others. Zero points is not an option if convicted of this offence.
Maybe the prosecutor needs to go back to school.

Re: Hand held device - court
I honestly don't think the prosecutor knows what they're talking about. There is no short wording for the offence of owner use handheld device. Demerit points are also out of the control of the JP and prosecutor. They are applied by the MTO after a conviction. What charge are they actually using to ...

If you're turning from a one way street to a one way street you can go left on a red light.

Re: Failure to stop. 136(1)(b)
A fatal error is something on the face of a ticket that a JP can see is obviously an egregious error. An example would be no city or location, no name of an accused, etc. Remember that the JP does not have the privilege of knowing the evidence related to the ticket at the time and they are also not ...

What other people were doing on Google maps won't have any effect on any current ticket. You just happen to have been caught on that particular day.

Re: Old Carriage Court Kitchener
Of course It's a two way street. Otherwise traffic could go down and not get out or visa versa. Traffic must generally park with right wheels to the curb line. You won't find any ministry documents to help you out either. It's a by-law and you should be able to locate it on the website for the local...

Re: Received red light camera ticket
Just so you're aware, the Provincial Offence Officer who certifies, does NOT have to appear in court just because you want them there. You're not likely to get a JP to order the appearance. As per the HTA: Challenge to officer’s evidence 205.20 (1) The provincial offences officer who us...

Re: Caught speeding excessively but wasn't pulled over
They can't charge the owner for speeding or stunt. They have to identify the driver.

A 300 m shot with a beam width of .75m (yes that is the correct width for some Lidar) is very easy with a motor vehicle approaching while your off to the side of the road. With zero magnification as well. It's an every day occurrence.

Re: Speeding and Follow Too Closely
Take a shot by adding that your first option would be to have the case withdrawn, then the next option would be to have an adjournment attributable to the prosecutor.

Re: Caselaw for speeding on curved road
If you're basing your appeal on the fact that the Lidar was "inaccurate" you're going to have a very difficult time. From you description it sounds like the officer was not level with the path of travel and off to the side. This would produce a cosine angle affect that would put the reading displaye...

Re: Prosecutor didn't read the charges
The prosecutor doesn't read the charges out in court. The Court Clerk or sometimes the JP does this. It's not usually done until just before the accused enters a plea of guilty or not guilty. In your case you're attempting to do neither.

Re: Advice on Speeding Ticket 17KM/H Over Limit
Slight correction. Speeding is always absolute liability. The offence of stunt driving with the speeding component is strict liability.
