32km/h Reduced To 15km/h Then And Amended Back To 32km/hr
March 17th (st. patricks day)
i got a 32km/hr reduced to 15km/h and chose to fight it (yes i no..im an idiot..but i was pressured into it by a family member cuz any ticket will raise insurance rates)...this was hwy 406 northbound st. catharines
set total payable $52.50 for HTA 128
so the same time that i sent in opting for option 3 i also asked for full disclosure via a form.
Got court date of October 18th, 2010
I was sent back disclosure containing:
-photocopy of ticket (front side)
-photocopy of "notice of trial"
-Notice about confidentiality and proper use of crown disclosure
-2 pages with 2 pages photocopied each of officer notes
AND
-Charge screening form stating that prosecuter intends to amend ticket to original speed of 132km/h at trial (f*** my life)..
I figured i had nothing to lose by fighting this ticket....but now i see that i DO infact have something to lose....i lost the reduction the officer made. The only bit of optimism left shining is that said on that same document stating "NOTE: the defendant or authorized agent must attend at trial to enter a plea to any reduced charge. The judge may choose not to follow the prosecutor's sentencing recommendation"...
This all came in an envelope that was strangely NOT sealed (is this normal? can i use this somehow?).
I can make out most of the officers notes but not all and so because of this i'm thinking about requesting a typed copy of the notes as well as MORE information to be disclosed.
How do i go about doing this? do i just fax to the number given stating my ICON and offence number along with the information that i request?
Oh and by the way, the trial is held in St. Catharine's, Ont and i live in Pickering, Ont.
Please help me out.
