"Justice of peace" equivilant in Quebec?
Hello,
In Ontario, when you get a ticket you can usually go in to the court and speak to a Justice of Peace at any time and they usually lower your fine/remove points if you plead guilty with explanation. My wife has a couple of tickets that she got in Quebec and when I called the court house they laughed in a Quebecor accent and told me you either plead not guilty and go through the whole process and speak to prosecutor or guilty and pay the entire fine, no other option.
Is this true? through my search here apparently some people were able to speak to someone prior to court dates, etc. How?
