Ticket Combat--went To Court Today....update
Went to Old City Hall today for my 32km over speeding ticket on the DVP.
As discussed in my thread, the Officer made a mistake on the fine amount-$120/ $150 with the victim surcharge.(suposed to be $232)
Anyhow, I arrived at court a half hour early to speak to the prosecutor.
along with the London V Young decision, I also brought copies of my Disclosure request which i did not receive after 5 months since my first request.
anyway, I show the prosecutor the error and ask how he intends to proceeed-he asked if I was pleading guilty
NOoooooPE!
well, Ill have it amended and we go to trial.
so I then advise him he wont be getting anything amended if I leave
so i go to the court clerk and make her aware of the error, and advice when they call me that you had a discussion about an error on the certificate with me and I left.
So now Im hoping the Justice did the correct thing today after I left once he examines the certificate
so in a couple days I am going to call the clerk and ask if the ticket was quashed or if I was convicted on a certificate that wasnt complete and regular on its face...
what do you think happened -you think it was quashed or you think I got convicted in my absence and Im going to have to make an appeal?
oh, to add to this, while I was discussing this with the court clerk, the officer who wrote the ticket said "everyone makes mistakes" and theyll have it amended.
I left before court session...was outta there like last period french class..
hopefully the JP did the correct thing and quashed it.
i tried getting him to withdraw the charge but he insisted on trial. I left.
