Yes its possible they can do that.

But remember you can tell prosecutor you want to plead not guilty and then when the trial starts they will say one of two things...
(1) we are not ready to proceed (officer is not there) and are withdrawing the charge, OR
(2) we are ready to proceed (means officer is there).

If (2) happens then you can just say ...

I can't find my cop. But the prosecutor said cop will show up if they call him. Is that true?

Court start at 9:30. If I plea not guilty, my case will be handled very late, and cop might show up at 2pm, is that ture?

I did plea guilty, I'm afraid to bet.

You should advise the Prosecutor and the Provincial Offences office that you will have video evidence that you want to present and that you require XYZ to play it.

Then when you show up, you can expect that they will most likely NOT have anything for you to play your video on.

They may want to keep the video you bring as evidence, so the best ...

Hi,

I received a speeding ticket* about an hour ago, but only now realized the unusual situation and don't know if the below is usable in court.

The road I was driving on was a 40 km/h hour 4-lane road (speeding ticket shows 57), and I was on the right lane, the police officer was hiding behind a bush on the right side.
Ahead of me the right ...

no, even a trailer needs a permit, and you're towing a sedan

The objective is to stop road killers, not generating money.

How did a ticket officer enter a private street? Did you buy the street explicit? Some people with hugh mansion bought the surrounding streets from the government.

I am having a bit of a hard time recalling exactly how much I passed the line by, however my worst-case estimate puts the rear tire around the white line (either slightly before or slightly past it). My car was not sticking out far enough to impede any traffic in the intersection, and I think pedestrians had some room to cross without stepping ...

So full story,

I am stopped at a green light, waiting for the car in front of me to complete a left turn (I was going straight through). The car in front of me makes his turn and I start to move. I quickly realized the light was changing from amber to red, and I decided to stop. However my vehicle did move past the white line, and stopped ...

So if both witnesses don't show up, I plead not guilty. Correct?


I will call witnesses (kind old ladies) the night before the trial to see if they attend.

human is also a vehicle, if following humans to close.

But cops/911 would not take your case seriously.

From the disclosure I have got, the prosecutor summons the cop and 2 witnesses to the trial.

i'm sure cop will show up because he gets paid.

But what if both witnesses don't show up? Do I win the case almost 100%? Is the email witnesses wrote to the cop served as evidence in court?

Why you are so sure? That's so bad.

Got an update:

receive reopen trial in June.

called MTO to remove the pending conviction record

no previous court case for reference?

thanks for the reply.

by conviction I meant the 2pts record on my driver
abstract.

I called MTO today and the record is still there.
the agent said the record will not be removed until I win, yet he might be wrong.

THE CONVICTION REMAINS ON YOUR ABSTRACT UNTIL EITHER A REOPENING OR APPEAL IS SUCCESSFUL


My question here:

the conviction will be quashed when the reopening is granted or when I win the reopened trial?

Darn it! I need to spend one more day in court.

Just a follow-up:

I did reopen my case since I did NOT receive the ticket from police (nor any trial). Instead, appealing will take me to next level court and reopen will hold a trial in the provincial court.

The trial notice will come faster (6 weeks or so) because this is a reopening trial.

The reopening is granted on Jan 25th.

I kinda screw up due to police's fault. My driver record was clean before I "was forced" to be convicted for a "unsafe turn" ticket. And I need to spend more time to deal with court and MTO.

Okay so a little confused... what do you mean you went to court second time?

******** The 1st time I requested a trial for the "failed to signal" ticket within 15 days of the accident. One month later I went 2nd time to reopen my case for "unsafe left turn".

Do you mean you just went in and talked to somebody in the office, or did you have an ...

I received a warning letter from MTO for a 2pts ticket.What happened is that the police officer issued a "unsafe left turn" and then changed the ticket to "failed to signal" at the scene, but she submitted both tickets!!! And I !!!ONLY!!! received the latter ticket from her(I requested trial for "failed to signal"). I recently received notice from ...

any follow up?
