Also leaving a glove box open for them to look in equates to illegal search. ! An open glove box is not an illegal search. If it's open I look, if not, I don't. I would be looking for weapons that could harm me, hence why we carry use of force items, to protect ourselves. Posters were telling people to leave glove box open. My point is why should we? Quite frankly I think the fact that people get arbitrarily detained without probable cause is one issue that we should not be dealing with, let alone having them snoop in our glove boxes at will. I would not go along on a police ridealong as I do...

I fail to understand how a passenger in the rear can say for sure that the guy was speeding. Also I think if police officers did start listening to some truths, they too may learn some valuable lessons.

Really? That's a tired old argument that been tried in a many a court with the defendant leaving a few hundred dollars poorer...please save all this Common Law talk for another board, as much as you think it applies, our courts don't recognize and the intent of this board was to discuss traffic issues not obscure legal pretexts from a bygone era. Maybe we could start a folder fro you to go and fill your boots with talk of contracts and conspiracy... Our courts have evolved as have our laws...I watched a guy try and spout that stuff one time in court, his second No Insurance charge, the Justic...

Common Law is NOT of a bygone era. It is what all Supreme Court cases are to this very day. Like I said, everyone needs to get an education and stop trying to put falsehoods into play.

The judges themselves will tell you under what 'Law' they are operating. They will also tell you that traffic court is a court of administration (look up m'administratiom' in the Law dictionaries). If you are going to give advice on a forum, you should make sure it is accurate.

Why should anyone feel they have to stay quiet, and leave glove box open?
Thats ruling by creating fear. Besides cops are not there to rule anyone. Also leaving a glove box open for them to look in equates to illegal search.

It is the officer who is carrying a gun, taser abd pepper spray !

Actually if they were to solely rely on the radar it would not carry much weight. Simply because a machine can be WRONG. They have the officer state that he 'believed' that the vehicle was going at a high speed to have an actual witness to the alleged 'crime'. Only a man or woman can bring a complaint into court, A piece of radar equipment is unable to speak or calculate and can only relay as much as it is programmed to relay. . - the "machine" you speak of is not wrong - speeding is NOT part of the Criminal Code - radar does make calculations You cannot guarantee that radar is infa...

"I think personally people need to start holding themselves accountable for their own actions and not justifying their behaviour by making everything everyone else's fault." ''and the government which can really do as it seems to please would make fines incredibly high...none of that is 'de rigeur'..'' "I think personally people need to start holding themselves accountable for their own actions and not justifying their behaviour by making everything everyone else's fault." Same could be said of police officers ! Can you tell me who the judges work for then? the province ? ...

If you arrange a trial and do not show up you will be convicted in your absence.

Any plea in my opinion is begging (pleading) !!

A trial is at least a way to stand up for yourself !

10 km slower can cause accidents too!

In my disclosure statement an accident report is present. The diagram makes no sense. There is a drawing of the road on which the accident happened and all 3 of the vehicles are indicated on the diagram. The diagram includes some measurements of the intersection just south of the accident and the measurements are way off. I drove the road last week and they have indicated that it is 140m to the next intersection but it is easily 500m unless it is a driveway that is actually being depicted. No markings as to what road is what. Also they have drawn a road that travels west but the next nearest ...

Therefore it is not without premeditated thought that they approached the alleged 'crime' of speeding this way.

I don't agree with you. In fact I can personally state that I have been stopped for false reasons. I do believe that police officers are credited in some way for the tickets thay give out.

Are you saying that the police work for the City in which they operate?

I was under the impression that police worked for the province yes/no?

When you are dealing with traffic court, a place where money is extracted, it goes without saying that the benefits to the 'bringer' of the fines would be monetary.

I'm just saying that something doesn't add up in what you are saying. Please clarify.

The Charter is a rewrite of the Bill (of rights) and upon rewriting it changed a few things. But yes I agree that guy didnt deserve that treatment.Fact is many rights are already stripped but people don't recognise it. They have become too complacent and have been conned into believing that it is all in their best interest. The confussing thing is the wording. If an officer "asks" to look in your car, you can say no. And to the layman, I am not excluded, the knowledge of what the average citizen is entitled to is a fuzzy gray area...I think that law courses should be manditory in hi...

They cant stop you leaving. Who is in control of the car?
