I found this after a few hours of reading around:
In Toronto, however, it takes almost 14 months to go to trial. How many hundreds of traffic tickets has the cop written since then? Will he remember every single one or what happened a year and a half ago? Of course not. That's why the chances of the cop showing up in Toronto is less than 50%. In fact Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair admitted that most officers fail to show up in traffic court.[2]
If the cop doesn't show up, then there is no evidence against you. The prosecutor has to withdraw the charge.
The two things that work to my benefit are:
1. In Toronto... it takes almost 14 months to go to trial: If I understand correctly, if it takes more than 11 months, I can file an 11(b) and have the case thrown out.
2. That's why the chances of the cop showing up in Toronto is less than 50%. In fact Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair admitted that most officers fail to show up in traffic court. If the officer doesn't show, then I win.
Can anyone say if this information is accurate?
