Redlightcamera: light was only red for 000.5 seconds

Hello I recently got a red light camera ticket, which I sent for early resolution. The first picture showed me behind the solid white line (where most cars stop), and the red light was only red for 000.5. The second picture showed me in the middle of the intersection, the light was red for 001.2 se...

Re: Wasn't wearing seatbelt, was delivering a pizza...

So had the trial what do you want me to do or say? ( I already had the early resolution meeting ) I will plead guilty, and then ?... What happened at your early resolution meeting? Before you trial, they'll try to resolve it again. If there's something to offer, they'll offer it. At that point it'l...

Re: Wasn't wearing seatbelt, was delivering a pizza...

You misunderstand... I am compelled to give my license, which I do , but only after asking "Am I required to give that to you?" followed by "Here is my license but I am giving it to you because I have to and I am not giving it to you voluntarily". Any compelled information obtai...

Re: Saw the Justice of the Peace today...

From my vantage point at a range of approx 7m, I noticed the driver was not wearing a seat belt. I observed that the driver was wearing a white t shirt with a design on the front. I noticed that the chest portion of the t shirt was unobstructed by seatbelt straps, and as the car turned into the sta...

Saw the Justice of the Peace today...

Early Resolution is not a trial date so you don't need an adjournment. When you get to meeting, the prosecutor may or may not offer you a plea deal. I would recommend you just say something like "I would like some time to review disclosure before I decide what to do." The prosecutor may h...

Re: Wasn't wearing seatbelt, was delivering a pizza...

It is up to you to make another request for your disclosure. You have to remain active in the disclosure pursuit. If there is not enough time between the time you get the disclosure and the court date, you may be able to get an adjournment to give you time to prepare your defence. I have my early r...

Re: Wasn't wearing seatbelt, was delivering a pizza...

Was it day time or night night time? Do you have tinted windows? Where was the police situated? These are all important questions that you need to consider when cross examining the police officer to try and bring reasonable doubt to what he said. And as well you would say what ynotp says above. Day...

Re: Slowed down for a red light, but didn't stop,disclosure

Show up on your court date and check in with the Prosecutor. Usually, the Prosecutor will ask if you would like to "resolve" the charge ahead of time. At that point, the negotiation begins. Let the Prosecutor make the offer. You can counter-offer with one of the two I mentioned above. Wha...

Wasn't wearing seatbelt, was delivering a pizza...

Hi there, Unfortunately, I can not find the disclosure (which I am sure I sent a request for), and I know without it there is little this board can do for me, but I will tell you exactly what happened: I was delivering a pizza and realized that I was low on gas, so I pulled into a gas station, as so...

Re: Slowed down for a red light, but didn't stop,disclosure

If the officer doesn't show up, they usually do withdraw the charge. The disclosure looks pretty solid so my recommendation would be a plea-bargain. I don't think "defence of necessity" applies in this case, because they will simply say that you were either driving too fast for the condit...

Slowed down for a red light, but didn't stop,disclosure

Hi everyone, So this past winter, I slowed down to make a right on a red, but decided not to stop because I was afraid the car behind me would hit into me, especially since the roads were wet and slippery; braking distance would of been longer. There was an oncoming police cruiser (bad luck usually ...
