Got two tix for no slips.
Now that I have them, do I take them to the cop station, or to the same place I go to fight tickets?
Thanks folks,

I don't think you take them anywhere. You pay the ticket bc you didnt have them at the time of the offense. You can try fighting it but its an uphill battle.Quote:

Lame. Wasting the court's time and getting tickets tossed is time well spent.Quote:

I got the exact same ticket..just take it to trial, bring the slip, and the prosecuter will withdraw the charges if they're in a good mood. Mine was withdrawn as soon as I showed the slip..My brother got the same ticket and they dropped it as well. Go a bit early, be polite.
yeah just keep in mind they aren't obligated to drop it
you're chances might be better if you schedule a First Attendance, they won't be as edgy vs. at trial
where conviction stats need to be maximized at all costs

i've seen people get tickets for producing temporary (printed) insurance slips, and they weren't dropped at pre-trial by the crown; needless to say they were convicted by the JP at trial and had to pay the fine
______
is the whole show license/registration/insurance at police station an urban myth? unless i pulled over a smokin' hottie i wouldn't want anyone else bothering me at the station or with staff sgt.
ya because exercising your right as a Canadian citizen to have your day in court is a waste of time... Come on, Wake Up.Quote:

Or you can go the "Freeman" route and get convicted.
Got the exact same ticket. Take it to court and show that you actually had it but forgot it.
Mine was dropped.
I don't get why people are saying to pay it.
That's SUPER bad advice! That'd be two convictions against your insurance! If you've got a clean record the best your insurance company would do is hike your rate. If you already have one ticket they'll drop you like a bad habit!Quote:

You might be able to obtain a letter from your insurance company saying you were insured at the time, but recently I've seen them not accepting these :(
When your court date comes up look for the prosecutor outside of the court. Explain you were insured at the time, show them your slips, etc. Don't be late!
