Is it possible to do this in court?

[_protege_]

I got a speeding ticket this past July 2008, 10 over, reduced, no demerit points. About a $45 fine. These are very difficult to fight since it is a reduced ticket.

My plan: Go to court, and if cop doesn't show up, great. If she shows up, I plead guilty before the trial starts and pay the fine.

Is this possible?

yes, but you will have to pay court fees as well.

Cops are paid to be in court, all their tickets are scheduled for the same day.

The cop will be there 98% of the time.

No demerit points, fine already reduced.. just pay the damn thing.

Don't have my ticket with me, but does the ticket indicate how much court fees are?

Any chance I have I'll take, to get rid of this ticket.

Insurance doesn't care about points, they care about convictions.

I haven't heard of a reduced ticket being returned back to the original charge. However, it is possible but IMO very unlikely.

I've heard of ways of getting court dates rescheduled because you didn't recieve full disclosure. Something about not sending disclosure through registered mail

I've talked to a few paralegals. They all told me that it's not worth fighting, and to just pay the fine. If it's fought, the prosecutor will fight for the original charge.

Which paralegals?

I've never seen or heard that happen before.


You have to understand that most paralegals are in it to make a quick buck(which is usually just a quick reduction, to be honest most of them have no interest in winning). In your instance they would actually have to fight because they have no choice

read some of their previous cases.

One of them a person was caught for speeding in Toronto. However, it was found that Toronto did not pass a by law to justify the posted 30 km/h limit. The ticket was tossed!

How is the paralegal making 'a quick buck' if they told him to not fight it and pay the fine?

If they wanted to make a 'quick buck' they would have told him he would have a chance to win and take on his case.

What? Only reason why tickets are reduces is so that you won't fight them. If and when you fight the ticket the fine will be for the maximum amount for your conviction. It has always been this way.

OP: Sometimes you shouldn't ask for so much. $45 is a small price to pay for a lesson learnt.

This is true, they can

Yes, $45 is a small price, but a conviction isn't that small for insurance.

I think you know what to do already, schedule court date and when you attend the courtroom, before registering ask if the officer is here, if he is then plead guilty don't fight it.

Yeah, that's what I'm gonna ultimately do. Im thinking I might do that disclosure process posted in another thread to increase my chances.

You guys think this is still legit, as the guy got banned?
