But I know people who have been caught for speeding and probably were, but disputed and won the case, because the officer says he has many years of experience in judging speed and could tell you were speeding (argued saying human error)
Without any proof they aren't guaranteed a victory, that's why our country can be considered less corrupt than others, when someone can dispute a speeding ticket against and officer and win. | Yes they are.
When it is he said she said, your word against a police officer's, they will win because you (the defendant) did not prove to the courts any reasonable doubt that the officer was incorrect in issuing a speeding ticket.
Now, if the officer said you were going 55 in a 50 zone, that argument might work. But if the officer said you were going 80 in a 50 zone, I don't see it happening. Even going 60 in a 50 zone, I can see the JP siding with the officer.

in your case seems like it was clearly non-disputable, when your pulled over while in the drivers seat with an expired license... | But it seems like they wanted someone to race the tow truck driver, and the winner got posession of the car. Doesn't this jeopardize public road safety if the person is trying to beat the tow truck?

you don't necessarily race the tow truck driver, its sort of your own fault, although i understand it's human nature to wanna get there ASAP, but the police don't actually insinuate that first one there gets the car.
Would suck for truck driver to drive out there and have the car taken away neways.
So did the car end up getting impounded and having to be retrieved? if so how much was it?

in your case seems like it was clearly non-disputable, when your pulled over while in the drivers seat with an expired license... | In nonamehustla's case, the car would only have to be impounded on the spot if his friends mother didn't have a valid driver's license and has previously been convicted of driving without a valid license. I gather that this was the first time she was caught without a valid license, so it was acceptable to have another individual with a proper license drive the vehicle away.
In the original posters case, his brother already had a suspended license and was caught operating a vehicle with a suspended license, so the car must be impounded on the spot. Doesn't matter if its not his brothers car or if someone else with a valid license can drive it away. 60 days was not the officer being harsh, it is the standard impoundment time for this offense.
Those are the rules and regulations set out by ICBC and the Motor Vehicle Act, see my post above http://www.revscene.net/forums/showp...4&postcount=53 | |

This stories fun and all, but seriously the only thing that should be discussed is the fact that your brothers girlfriend put my life at risk by driving due to the fact that if she can't park, she can't drive.

I know for a fact that when you go to court and it goes he said she said, the cop will win. As the person who given the ticket, it is your duty to prove to the JP that you were not guity of the ticket, whether the ticket is for speeding, running a red light. Heck, if the cop gives you a ticket for street racing, you can lose your liscence and there is nothing you can do about it.
