Speeding ticket help No signature

You will need to dispute the case. Based on him no providing any evidence (that being the laser) you automatically win your side. He has nothing to back it up

You will need to dispute the case. Based on him no providing any evidence (that being the laser) you automatically win your side. He has nothing to back it up with. You will probably have to fight it taking a day to go through the court BS. But in the end I bet the cop doesn't even show up so in the end you win either way.

My last ticket I got I fought and won based on the officer being a no show!

GL!


And for other Canadians to always fight your tickets. More often then not the cops don't show and it's automatic win for you!

Not true. I went to court and the cop didn't show. Judge rescheduled court date and there was nothing I could do about it.

And if you are guilty, man up and pay the ticket!

Sucks for you but in Ontario no show from cop = no ticket for defendant.

GL and always fight your tickets!

A commonly held misbelief. Probably 95% of the time, that is the case. But, if the officer in question has contacted the court and given a reason for his abscence (sick, death in the family, etc), the prosecutor can ask for an adjournement on all that officers tickets and get it rescheduled. Most of the time though, officers simply don't show up and don't tell the court why. I almost all those cases, the ticket gets thrown out.

However, even if the officer doesn't show up for no reason, the prosecutor (although rare), can still ask for an adjournement and the defendant must then present a compelling reason the case can't be adjourned to a later date.

I would agree Mike that 99% of the time, no show means they throw it out, but if for some reason the courst doesn't like you, it can be rescheduled and if it is, there's little you can do about it.

As for the OP, call Points or another ticket specialist. I'll bet you can get an answer to your question on the phone. And if it is racing, it isn't the fine I'd be worried about, it's the effect on your insurance. Fight it! "Man up and pay it"....and you'll be paying for years.

100% agree it can be rescheduled but hardly ever is. In my experiences the officer has not shown up and I end up winning!(two times!) I only ever payed my first ticket because I was young and didnt know about this.

As long as it's not a ticket from an accident or a DUI I am pretty sure the judge will have np with throwing out minor traffic offenses.

That wholly depends on discretion of the judge.. If the judge's having a bad day, or he feels that there is a compelling reason to reschedule, then he shall.. if he's sick of cops not showing up for his court that day, he will dismiss the case.

Nevertheless, OP, fight it. The cop does not have a case against you. No signature thing might not be relevant on winning the case (as your driver's license, and other information was taken to verify that you were indeed the one driving) but it still acts against the crown proving her case.
