Ticket advice?

He could have dropped it to 65kmh with $55. It happens on 50 zones. Must be a weekend rookie cop.

Or the OP was going a bit faster than the ticket speed

(not that it matters)

Further details: The fine was increased because it was a community safety zone. They popped me riding south on Scarlett Rd. just past the golf course, north of Dundas. It's a wide-open four-laner. No hospitals or schools--I think they made it a safety zone because people were ripping through there.

So--no break on the ticket. And yes, he was a rookie cop. Nice enough guy, but all of 5 ft. 5. Remember when cops were big dudes?

Ahh yeah.. Had an unpleasant dealing with a Napoleon cop once. Ended up throwing my jacket down on the ground and stepping all over it. He was ****** at what some other people did, but took it out on me. A couple of other cops around were shaking their heads but knew better than to interfere (undermining Napoleon's authority is a no-no). I'm sure he got a talking-to away from the public.

WTF are you serious?? He threw your jacket down and curb stomped it?!?!? What a D***!!!!

My trial is next month and I have Forch looking after it. Tried to go for the right to speedy trial I think because he asked about First Attendance but I said that I opted for it...I thought we were supposed to to show that we were willing to negotiate....=S

I'm still fairly confident he'll pull through though. The cop's notes were extremely vague and short.

Just remember, money (Especially a few hundred bucks) comes and goes, but stuff that goes on your record stays there forever (insurance may not count it, but it'll still be there if anyone wanted to find out).

Oh, they do! They just don't tell you they do. "Sorry, you don't meet the requirements for our 'premium good driver' rate..." Why the hell not, my record is squeaky clean?! "Sorry, but we choose not to give you the 'premium good driver' rate at this time."

Bastards.

That is pretty wack. I'll let you know what happens if i ever run into a cop like that.
