Yes I would have to lie to beat the ticket

Time to hire a team and shut up :]

@ jsherk - thank you

@OP - That's what I would have done too to avoid brake checking or getting rear ended by people. Once I saw the 50 km/h sign I would have slowed down or just stopped accelerating but look what happened. The police rather I brake check someone?

Also in my case you couldn't even see the 50 km/h sign at night, traffic was flying by going 60 km/h minimum, no signs up to the cop, car was accelerating and it was four lanes total. The cop didn't take any of this into consideration

When it's your word against the officers, guess who they are most likely to believe?

Yes I think this cop would have given me ticket for going 60 km/h too.. Probably had his eyes on the car from the red light ...

When does the time of the ticket start? From the minute the police turned the lights on or when I stopped the car?

Thanks

Also the car's a manual gearbox car so I was quite AWARE of what the car was doing before the ticket.. But how could I ever prove this in court

^ It's a long road and speed signs vary from 60 (posted), 50 km/h (posted) & then areas with absolutely zero speed signs (where I got pulled over). I assumed 60 km/h was a safe bet and had no problems until that stupid cop pulled me over after the red light. In fact there's 3 police buildings within one KM from where I got pulled over and I didn't get into any trouble until after the red light. #1 Waterloo Regional Police - North Division #2 Special Constable Service for Wilfrid Laurier University #3 Special Constable Service for University of Waterloo Lying's too harsh, maybe he guessed o...

Thank you!

I've been reading for hours on here and I think I have the process down pat...


i) Ask for trial
ii) Ask for disclaimer
iii) If there's any questions then ask for a typed disclaimer
iv) Decide if hiring a lawyer or paralegal is worth it
v) Court

This won't affect my clean record until this gets resolved for good or bad correct? Let's say my next renewal comes up and this is still not resolved then the insurance company can't consider it?

The road I turned onto (morning shot) ... No speed signs and it's a major road... http://i.imgur.com/bRLH2vJ.jpg Picture from the car with cop and speed sign pointed out. You can't make out the sign or the police officer because of how dim it is there http://i.imgur.com/sxbQbAj.jpg Morning shot of the same area with cop & sign pointed out http://i.imgur.com/IFjG25k.jpg Picture of the car at the the stop light. It's so poorly illuminated http://i.imgur.com/t2rbELE.jpg Stop Light (Day).. It's a major road so I don't feel as bad aiming for 60 km/h especially at 2 am. In fact the road does cha...

Happened near Laurier University in Waterloo Ontario around ~2 AM Issue #1 From when I turned onto that road all the way up to the hidden bike cop there wasn't a single posted speed sign, at least one I could SEE (went back and saw it in the morning). I know you should default to 50 km/h when there's no signs but the flow of traffic on that road at night was nuts. I tried to stick to 60 km/h Later after the event followed this road in the morning and found out it flip flopped between 50 and 60 km/h! Issue #2 Before the cop was a red light so I was accelerating when the cop pulled me. This was ...
