Hello All, My question is to all the experts out there, including police officers or court prosecuter who visit this site. Lats month on May 2 4 weekend, I was traveling to Timmins, Ontario to a work collegue's cottage. It was 3 am, just before reaching the cottage, I got pulled over by a cop for sp...

Thanks Radar Identified,
Those notes are very helpful. Much appreciated. What are my choices if i have already pleaded not guilty and now I decide just to pay, is there anyway i can do? Or do I have to now attend a trial? Just a question?

And i am not sure if it is still highway 400 near port severn or 69. Its going towards sudbury!

Thanks Radar Identified. I will make sure I study those tricks and use them when the trial date comes. One question, once a trial date is set, do i have to ask for a disclosure in advance or go to trial and ask for disclosure and will the judge set another date then? And about the question of two la...

Hwybear, You may be right, but there were only two lanes on that part of highway 400, i was on express lane, he came chasing me and I switch over to right lane thinking that he wanted to cross me , he got behind me on right lane , and flashed high beams, i switched to express lane again, he got behi...

About Fyrestorm comment on "THANK YOU". I did say thank you to the officer and he thanked me and told me "sorry for the rough midnight".

Folks, I was not driving at 130km/hr. I never drive at that speed. He told me he caught me at $120km/hr and gave me 115km/hr. I may have been driving at 110km/hr and tried to speed up when he was behind me flashing me and i kept changing lanes to let him go.

To Fyrestorm, when he says that if you don't attend trial and they will amend the ticket and convict you in your absense. That is unjust and prejudiced according to the case that you posted earlier. Atleast in that case, the prosecution told the defendant in advance. I have nothing against the cops,...

And one last question to Fyrestorm, When a cop reduces a ticket at his discretion, should he not write some kind of code on the ticket itself that it was reduced cause the cop never mentioned anything to me about reducing the ticket.

And one last questions to all of your experts?

If I setup a trial and don't show up if i am busy, what happens?????????

New trial is setup or I get convicted???????? And will this conviction be for original ticket or amended one if they do ask for amendment without me being present?

Thanks,

Thanks guys for all your help,
I think I will go to the court to plead NOT guilty.

Best Regards to All.

Also Radar, Another question, can you enter in to a plea bargain if you decide before the court date that you don't wanna fight?

Can you meet justice of peace and resolve the issue before the trial starts?

Thanks.

Fyrestorm I didn't know you were a cop, but I agree with you and Radar that officers might show up in Orillia compared to Toronto where less than 50% of the time they show up. The reason I wanted to go to the court was because this officer didn't really know what he was doing, he scared me, he chase...

Thank you Fyrestorm, That was very informal. Now I am wondering if i do go and plead not guilty, just to buy some time to see if the officer shows up or not. Would the prosecution tell me in advance whether they will ask for amendment of the ticket. And if they do, can I enter a plea of guilty with ...

Another question, if i pay, is this considered a minor offense or no?
