speeding ticket help

I don’t know where you heard that, but the Justice of the Peace (JP) CAN reinstate the original speed. That means that that since your defence was set for the original speed, now you should ask for an extension to defend the new charge, which WILL be granted. Only the JP can amend the charge, not the prosecutor or the cop.

It hardly ever happens, and the one JP who does it (who is at the Newmarket courthouse I believe) is a serious d!ck. But it can happen. All you can do is ask for an extension.

PS the one guy it happened to was a punk ass kid who showed no respect to the court, or the court officers. He was mouthing off really badly. If you aren’t mouthing off, chances are it won’t happen. I’ve only seen it happen once in 9 years.

Next time, try to check out the relevant case law before making blanket statements.

www.magma.ca/~fyst is your friendly web site. Good advice for those not familiar with procedure, etc.

In the OP’s situation, request your trial date. If you show up and the cop shows up, then talk to the prosecutor and just plead guilty, as 15km/h over is a gift (as stated earlier.) If the cop is not there, then BAM you’re free.

your wrong lol, sorry to say pal. but the ticket written and handed to you is what you will be fighting in court… do your resarch and understand he will not be in any danger of them lifting it back up to origional speed…and no your wrong again they will not take it into consideration unless you go to trail which is not how you always fight tickets

if he pleds guilty with a response, he will get it lowered but not completly obviously. but if he goes to trial… the officers notes will be present. and if the jp reads them he may just say son pay it it has arealy been lowered for you…

in no way can they ever raise the fine or incresse the speed to what you were previously doing… prove me wrong. and stop posting in his thred if you arent helping him out

EVERYTHING YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ IS STRAIT OFF THE SITE YOU SENT ME…

3. Plead not guilty - trial option
   Why should you plead not guilty? Because:
   if you appear on trial, the cop might not show up, and the ticket is automatically dismissed;
   if the cop does show up, with some preparation, you have a chance to win the case;
   in the worst case, if you lose, you still don’t pay more than if you have just pleaded guilty. Court costs are already tagged onto the prescribed fine. (Often fines are reduced if you put up a good defence.)
