Question: Expired Stickers On Private Property.
I have questions regarding a ticket I received this morning while in the parking lot at my work.
My stickers were in fact expired, and If I had been pulled over on public roads, there would be no question that I was in violation of the traffic act.
However, I was not pulled over and at the time of the ticket, I was parked at my work. While walking from my car to the front door of my office, an OPP cruiser pulled in, parked behind me and asked me to get back in the vehicle. I did not in fact get back in my vehicle, but i did provide him with the information he requested.
I'm wondering if this constitutes a valid stop. At the time of the ticket, I was not on public roads, nor in the vehicle. To my understanding, the Ontario Traffic Act does not apply to private property. I'm also wondering if the officer was even allowed to come onto private property in the first place.
Would I grounds to fight this ticket?
