A police officer cannot diagnose a medical condition. Even if they did, who would accept the accuracy? I've had drivers at collision scenes tell me that they blacked out, both for long term medical conditions and "its never happened before...". I've always sent letters to MTO expressing my...

I've laid this charge mostly for MC's, and only a few cars/trucks. I've always laid for based on observations alone. For example, everyone knows (from spending time on the roadways) how much noise traffic generally makes. People Also tend to accept that some vehicles are loader than others ( for ex...

I'm not aware of any provision in the HTA that prevents what you're describing. This is a Grey area in the HTA and many charges are laid, with individual JP's taking different positions on the matter. That being said, since (based on your other posts about loud exhaust, and your avatar) you appear t...

From the description provided I would have probably laid the same charge. I would also expect a 50/50 chance of losing the case at trial depending on the JP hearing the matter. I've had similar cases go both ways. Regardless of disposition of the charge, your insurance company has all the relevant i...

You got a break at the roadside - I would have bailed you for breaching your conditions. As to the Dangerous charge - enjoy your 30 days inside.

It sounds like one of three things happened: 1. The officer screwed up and wrote 128 when he meant to write 172(1). This seems more likely and I would expect you'll receive a long form summons at your door with the correct charge soon. 2. The less likely option is that he meant to issue you summons ...

I have to agree with Simon here. Your plates are prominently displayed for a reason, and the police have the ability to run those plates. If a stop becomes justified as a result of running game those plates (unlicensed/suspended/prohibited RO, uninsured vehicle, expired validation, stolen car, Amber...

If you explained all that to the officer as part of the investigation you are likely out of luck. Allowing a child to play with a helium balloon while you're the only adult passenger sounds has a somewhat expected outcome and would demonstrate "carelessness". Careless is a serious convicti...

1. You can be charged based on witness information provided to police. In this case the officer would provide to the court information relating to your identity as confirmed by the traffic stop. The civilian complaint would provide the court with his witness evidence as to a person matching your des...

Decatur units will also provide dual signals for target vehicles. When you (I'm guessing) started arguing with the officer about the ticket and he places it inside the cabin of your car, he "serves" you. I legal component of that ticket is that he "serve" you personally. It may b...

I went through the same thing last year with a fail to stop read light ticket that had an incorrect set fine on it, so I have a bit of experience with the situation you are in. When you file your appeal you will have to pay the total payable that is listed on your ticket even though it is incorrect...

If caught driving while under her federal prohibition she will be arrested for criminal code Drive Disqualified. Depending on the officer she may be held for bail, and the vehicle she is driving at the time will automatically be impounded for 45 days at the owners expense. As an FYI, her driving pro...

Your understanding of police authority is fundamentally wrong. If you are stopped at a RIDE check (which is the way it sounds), the police are following the accepted brief detention and violation of your Charter rights. If the same police observe an offence being committed as a result of that intera...

In Ontario the issuing of a license by MTO grants you permission to drive on a highway. This permission, if your license expires, ends. The courts, along with MTO, can also suspend your license. In this case you are barred by provincial law from driving on a highway. The third level would be a prohi...
