You need to contact the Provincial Offences Office responsible for the charges- in this case Barrie. A good start would be to find out which agency (OPP, Barrie Police, MTO, etc) issued the offence notices. Then you would need to follow up with them directly. If someone used your name, that is a ser...

Nothing needs to be noted in the code box. Sometimes the officer will write "R" for reduced, but definitely not mandatory. School zone does not need to be added to the wording. You may want to check the signage in the area to make sure the school zone signs/flashing lights were clearly pos...

There could be a possibility if you ran the red stop sign...but if a school bus is just stopped without that stop sign sticking out you are not required to stop. I disagree - you are required to stop. The mechanical stop arm is totally irrelevant. Section 175(11)&(12) HTA have no requirement fo...

If you appeared in court after receiving the summons, then it has served it's purpose. A summons is just to get you in the door at court. It's no longer relevant in my opinion. You've since been to court many times. I would presume you were instructed on court record by the JP when to return to cour...

You described the phone being in your lap.... Was it resting on your leg or on the seat between your legs? Just so you're aware, the courts have previously ruled that having the phone resting on your thigh while seated is "holding". The officer's notes are pretty vague for this type of cha...

Section 62(1) HTA refers to the lamps required on a motor vehicle and it is very clear. You can only display white or amber light on the front of your vehicle in the manner described. If I were driving toward you and could see any other colour than white or amber, that would be an offence. Even if t...

What have you actually received for disclosure? You're entitled to a copy of the officer's notes and the testing procedure of the speed measuring device used. A copy of the entire manual cannot be disclosed without a court order as it is a "third party record" (neither owned by the police ...

Did this happen in Toronto by chance?

If so, you might find this Youtube video helpful. Seems to fit the situation you described.

Most, if not all, police agencies in Ontario don't issue a certificate for radar operator training. It is sufficient for the officer to testify that they are a qualified radar operator. That is widely accepted by the courts. In fact, I've seen a officer asked if he had a certificate on the witness s...

The officer's notes are not meant to be a novel including every single detail. They are HIS notes and are supposed to be brief. They are made to simply refresh the officer's memory. The officer will ultimately testify to the specifics of how he tested the radar and that is something you could ask hi...

Could you, in theory and within the scope of the current law, watch a movie on an iPhone mounted to your windshield while driving - without touching the device or holding it? Section 78 appears to exempt the screen of a prescribed hand-held device. While I believe this would be absolutely dangerous,...
