How to discuss a plea bargain (how to approach prosecutor?)

Hey, I had posted here a month ago about my DWS charge and got some great advice. Back again to check on plea bargains :) To recap, I went to court last month and got my disclosure. Fairly certain I'll get convicted as I can't prove I didn't know about the suspension. Anyhow, the disclosure says 'Take Plea' so I'm assuming the prosecutor is open to one. My 2nd day in court is in a couple days, how do I approach the prosecutor beforehand to discuss the plea? I'm due in court at 1:30pm. Do I go in the morning and see if I can track them down in the hall? I didn't see anything in the disclosure a...

Re: suspended due to unpaid fine - court date in a few days

Yeah thought it was a mandatory suspension with a conviction... So court date is tomorrow... what are my better chances? Plead not guilty and hope they offer a plea bargain, or guilty and try my chances with the judge?

Thanks!

Re: suspended due to unpaid fine - court date in a few days

Hey thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if I was going to get a meeting beforehand since the ticket marks the courtroom I'm supposed to be in -- I figured I had missed it at this point. I think I'd rather just take the plea and whatever minor insurance hit it entails then risk the longer-term suspension... hopefully they'll be open to that.

suspended due to unpaid fine - court date in a few days

Hi, I've got a court date coming up in a couple days in Toronto, and wondered if anyone had advice... Back in early May I was stopped for having a dirty license plate (I work out in the country). I was informed that my license was under suspension since Feb due to an unpaid fine ($85 -- driving with an expired tag, about a week after my birthday). The officer seemed worked up about the whole thing, giving me a hard time (it was 7:30am on a Saturday -- didn't have breakfast?).. he claimed I could stay where I was stopped in TO for 3 hours, then called a tow truck immediately (luckly I was able ...
