Hand Held Device - Court
This is more of an FYI for the forum.
So when I spoke with the prosecutor, just as others have mentioned in this forum, there is no lower charge they can offer you for hand held devices. So it's not like they can change the nature of the charge (like change this to a non-moving charge for example).
However, they asked people in the courtroom whether you own the vehicle driven for the charge. They noted that if you own the vehicle they could offer a fine between $0 and $490, and 0 demerit points. But if you were driving a car you didn't own (say a family car - even if you're the primary or sole driver), then they can only offer to give you the minimum fine of $300 and it's still 3 demerit points.
So you'll want to bring documentation showing your ownership of the car listed on ticket.
