CGGUY is right, fight the power. Cops usually never show, or the Crown may may pull you aside before the date and see if they can bargin it down before it goes and wastes everyones time. Sounds like you haven’t been to court…last one I had to go to was City of York on Eglinton and it was full of the biggest lowlife career-criminal drunks you have ever seen. I thought my Skyline would get boosted in the parking lot. So they will be thrilled to see a guy like you, be polite, dress nice, be factual and state something like “you believe you came to a complete stop and proceeded as no one was around it was late.”
Anyway my last visit (stupid old sticker) cop didn’t show, they must have tossed $10,000 worth of tickets everyone was crying halleluyah in the hall when they left.
