any advice on tickets? GTA ontario canada

Jesus which part of GTA are you in so I can stay the **** away.

As far as advice/suggestion goes, I think the cop was probably having a bad day and went to town with you. Also in the GTA having ANY sort of cover ANY part of the license plate ( not including the stickers ) is illegal. Like others have said, most cops don't bat an eye on the covers but it's something they can nail you for.

As for the license plate, you're SoL on that one, it's an auto write up for the cop. Move to Quebec if you don't want front lic plates.

I'm totally speculating here but, I think he might have seen a note for the week before in their database. The summon he gave you is basically an ultimatum for you to fix everything and prove it to the crown, sucks that he also threw in tint and cover.

imho, don't give them any reason to pull you over in the first place and you'll save yourself a lot of headache!

it was near lakeshore and carlaw. very true with your last sentence, i didnt know about this, i thought it was just going to be a ticket for the no front plates and im not sure but he only said my last infraction was in 2015, not sure for what tho, so who knows if the cop from last week put anything in the system, another person said they dont write down warnings on the comp like when they pull up your plates, only the tickets youve been given the last few years or so, but ill have to ask the guy across the street thats a york region cop, im sure its pretty much the same as them.....

sooooo stressed....... i hate the front plates lol... i can live with the front plates but the no cover too now ? damn province, i want to start a petition for the no front plates like our other provinces but i doubt many ppl even care...

tints gona be a hassle too.

ya he was definitely pissed about something to hit me with so many tickets, especially when the last infraction he mentioned was 2 years ago.....

im never taking small streets again, i was going north and he was going west, we both stopped at stop signs and literally a second later he got me.
so stressed and confused as to why he went nuts with the tickets.. ugh..

does anyone here NOT have front plates? and or covers?

so if this gets tossed out and i do it again, then what happens? i wont but im curious. the only thing i would still want are the covers, wish i could show you a pic of how clear they are... i took pics during the day and in the pitch dark with only the moonlight and no street lights and you can still see my plate next to another car with no cover

This. So this.

I wonder if the 407 cameras have a hard time with reflections off clear plate covers and that's why it's such an issue there. Are they as aggressive about peeling plates?

Just another reason to avoid the GTA altogether. I'm happy in my little corner of paradise down here!

ive gone through those scanners a number of times and no issues reading my plates.

If its the end of the month. just disappear for a bit.
cops know cars are a huge source of income so they hit us hard.
only way to win is to not play the game...
