Re: I don't know if the cop used a radar or not - what next?
did you request disclosure yet? ultimately the longer you wait to resolve the ticket the longer it will be on your record. It's from the conviction date not the date of the ticket. So if this doesn't get resolved until March 20, this ticket will be on your record from that date. to answer your quest...

Re: I don't know if the cop used a radar or not - what next?
you'll know if they'll bump it up to 95 when you receive disclosure. It will state somewhere that he caught you doing 95 but gave you a break and put down to 90. It should also state on disclosure if he used radar or how he clocked your speed. Basically if you fight it they are going to try to charg...

Re: Different speed limits on each direction of the road
In my experience JPs typically will allow the requests, since illnesses are considered something unforeseen. just out of curiosity...how do you think most JP's would react if I would have asked that since the officer was ill and could not make the scheduled court date, if I can request he provide a...

how the trial went
well today i had my trial, which wasn't really a trial because I was expecting to agree to 65km/h in a 50km/h zone. this is what happened. prosecutor called my name and started by directly telling the justice that the officer who gave me the ticket was not able to make it to court today due to illne...

Re: Different speed limits on each direction of the road
i found this case R. v. Zack, [1999] O.J. No. 5747 (Ont. C.J.) Justice Duncan stated "In this day of full disclosure it cannot be an acceptable explanation for a police officer to say ‘I did not note it because I would remember it. It is necessary for the officer to at least somewhe...

Re: Different speed limits on each direction of the road
If you bring that to court and there is still something missing, IMO you are good for a stay. Something being testing notes or other info you would require to mount a full defense. but what i'm still unsure of is how can i find out if any of the information such as the officers radar test has been ...

Re: Different speed limits on each direction of the road
An experienced traffic officer probably would have tested the radar before and after your stop, but they still need to record the fact in their notes. In my experience Courts will not simply accept an officers testimony about testing if its not also in their notes (in short, not in the notes, didnt...

Re: Different speed limits on each direction of the road
No where will you find an 80km/h zone transition directly to a 50km/h zone, that not safe due to a drastic difference in high to low speeds. there are hundreds of 80-50 zones. County Rd 46 (South Woodslee), just street view near 1612 County rd 46, South Woodslee, can see both signs 50 and the 80, p...

Re: Different speed limits on each direction of the road
basically i'm fighting the fact its not a 50km/h zone. should I go try to get something done before I enter a plea or enter the not guilty plea and go through the proceedings regularly and make the officer look silly like he doesn't even know what the speed limit is in an area he's handing out spee...

Re: 49 Over on the 400 + some extra goodies...
well the first thing i think you should do is request a trial (this doesn't mean you have to fight the ticket in court...yet). send a request for disclosure, to make sure the officer has notes written down against you. after getting disclosure you will see how strong of a case the officer will have ...

Re: Different speed limits on each direction of the road
as of right now what I have going for me is that the opposite direction on the road has posted signs that say I was in a 60km/h zone. I'm not sure how to go about fighting not the fact i was speeding but that the charge was improper. should i try to create a motion to quash the ticket because of imp...

Re: Different speed limits on each direction of the road
from what i have right now from the officers notes, there is nothing that shows his radar test before and after his shift. Also he wrote nothing regarding traffic around me at the time he pulled me over. if when i receive what should be proper disclosure, if it does not include notes showing that th...

Re: valid speeding defence?
It's a real piss off that in an area where the signage is messed up and its a transition zone from 50 or 60 to an 80km/h zone thats where a cop hangs out. there are absolutely NO transition zones when the speed limit increases. Just b/c one can see a sign or knows about a sign 300m or 1000m ahead d...
