Re: I have a court date but it's on ZOOM VIDEO has anyone dealt with this ?

They mailed me notice of trial and provided Zoom call-in details in that, mine is just "failing to signal lane change"

I have a court date but it's on ZOOM VIDEO has anyone dealt with this ?

I have a court date but it's on ZOOM VIDEO has anyone dealt with this ? Since this will be a ZOOM VIDEO I have no chance of officer "not showing up" since it's a pre-arranged video conference available with a click of a button ? Also how do you discuss the matter with prosecutor before the...

Requesting Disclosure online - where is section number ?

I'm requesting disclosure online with Halton Court Services, one of the things they ask for is : Section No. Explanation says: On a "Notice of Trial", the section number is found near the top after the defendant’s name and address. On the "Certificate of Offence", the section num...

Red Light Camera Ticket - Best Option to get it reduced ?

Someone else was driving my car and I got the ticket in the mail addressed to the "owner of the vehicle" . I know there is pretty much 0% chance of fighting it for not guilty but I hope they can at least reduce it. Do I choose "Option 1 Trial Option" or "Option 2 Early Resol...

Failed to Signal while changing lanes - Can it be reduced ?

I got a ticket for failing to signal lane change HTA 142(1) on a 2 lane road. If I decide to fight it and go to court, would the prosecutor offer to reduce this just for showing up , and if so what would they possibly reduce it to since this is already a pretty low charge and low fine ($85).

Guess go tends to get tickets and who tends to get warnings.

I have always been extremely polite to every cop that pulled me over, and I always got a ticket :(

Re: Red Light Camera Ticket - not my car

I think you've misunderstood the situation a bit here. Your situation and this situation are apples and oranges. As to the original poster, you should probably start by visiting a police station and reporting your license plate as being stolen asap. I believe they might give you a form to take to a...

Red Light Camera Ticket - not my car

My father parked his old disabled car in a parking lot of his mechanic couple months back (outside) I guess he did not remove the plates, because he just received a $338 red light camera ticket from another part of GTA, the license plate is his but the car in the picture is not his (different make, ...

Re: Police officer didn't show up and JP rescheduled the tri

Hi, Police officer didn't show up so I thought the tickets I got would be withdrawn. However, the JP said the trial needs to be rescheduled; now I need to take another day off to attend. Many people at the court with me also appealed but their trials were rescheduled, too. Is this common practice? ...

Re: Detailed Disclosure Request for Radar Gun Ticket

Update:

I requested more detailed disclosure as the original did not give enough info, they never responded to the 2nd request so I went on my court date ready to request an adjournment until I get my disclosure request fulfilled. Officer was a no-show for unknown reason, charge withdrawn. :wink:

Re: WIN speeding 26 over

Do you have any knowledge if filing to have radar evidence dismissed for that particular device has worked in cases before or is this something you came up with by yourself ? Since the radar evidence is the main evidence, if the motion gets upheld does it basically dismiss the prosecutions case ? Of...

Re: WIN speeding 26 over

Just finished reading your detailed report thanks for that ! So basically prosecutor figured it would be too much work for 10 over ticket considering the 2 motions you have filed ? I currently have a ticket from the same jurisdiction and the same court location using the same radar gun model, would ...

Re: Detailed Disclosure Request for Radar Gun Ticket

Since I can't read the officer notes, should I request typed version and if not received before trial date can I request an adjournment based on that or would the JP just ask the police officer to clarify the notes for me right there ? They don't have to be typed, they just have to be clear. So yes...
