  • Stunting ticket WTF?????

    Ok here is a little rant.

    So i have moved around abit within the city renting places, i finally bought a house and went in to switch over all my license/car registration today. I then find out i have a stunting ticket on my license...im puzzled.

    But this is what pisses me off. 08/24/08 (euroquake last year) i get a $402.00 fine for stunting in bowden. From what i remember i just kept pace with the rest cruising up, did anyone else get a ticket? i wasn't even pulled over!Anyway i would like to fight it but is it to late? I have now a late charge of 80$, my fault for being irresponsable and not changing over my ****, thus not knowing.

    But come on stunting? i was driving good that day because well there was a bunch of us and it only takes 1 to get the whole troop pulled over.

    So my questions anyone else get stunt tickets that day or one and not be pulled over? What entails getting a stunting ticket?

      It's a 6 demerit traffic ticket. I don't know if you can still fight it...but I would assume that probly cant...surprised you didn't get one in your mail or something at least you would've had a chance to fight it...sux man
      I do have a pretty good lawyer that fights traffic tickets, let me know if u need a lawyer.

        well i never changed the address on my license stupid move. so it was getting mailed to my old place..so i never actually knew until i was at the registry today. I wasn't pulled over it was off my cars plate and tagged on to my license since im the owner i assume. so im not sure if they can nail points on me can they?? Maybe i should go to the courthouse tomorrow to see if i can make sense of it?

          They can give you the demerits I'm sure about that. You can try going to the courthouse tomorrow, IMO I don't think you'll get anything done. If you can try and get a copy of the actual ticket I can try and help you out, as I said I have a pretty good lawyer and has helped me and others with much bigger cases then this and she doesnt charge much. OR if u cant get a copy of the ticket, get the Serial Num. of the ticket cuz really thats all she needs.

            I was under the impression that if they couldn't prove that you were driving that they couldn't give you demerits against your license .. I'm probably wrong .. but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

              I didn't think you could get a ticket without being pulled over if it was not a photo ticket, and even with photo tickets they can not take points off your licence. How do you know it was you and the cop didn't write down the wrong plate number. What does it say about the ticket issuing cop who charged you with a six point ticket and did not pull you over. I would be speaking to a lawyer first thing in the morning.

                Thats just it, the wife and i both drive the car i just remember that day vividly because of euroquake. They can't prove it was me since no police pulled me over got my license number and issues the ticket. They got the cars license number and issued the owner the ticket which is me. I believe its just the fine because i can't see how they can dock my points without even knowing it was me, im going to the justice of the peace this morning to try and sort it all out.

                  I have never heard of this happening before.

                  As already mentioned, they have no proof you were operating the vehicle.

                  Let us know what happens.

                      Went to the justice of the peace today. Would have had to go to oles(?) to fight the ticket. Lady said if i wasn't pulled over it would have been someone called in my plate. She also said i probably could have gotten off of it since it was just called in and from my explanation, but i didn't feel like driving all the way and pssibly book a day off work and have this an on going thing.

                      No demerit points are taken away unless an officer pulls your over and tickets you she said,same with photo radar it is just the fine.
                      It sucks but im over it.

                      Thanks for the advice and listening to my rant. I guess i pissed someone off on the drive, lesson learned!

                          She said you had to go to "OLDS", not "oles".

                          It is the town south of Bowden, where I live. The police station is right on Hwy #27 running east-west through town. It is on the far west end of town on south side of highway.

                          Takes about 45 min to get here from the north edge of Calgary. Not much difference than drving accross the city in traffic, really.

                          Hope this helps. Sucks about getting such a $hitty ticket. Didn't know you could get pinned for demerits without being pulled over.... That's a new one, to me.

                            So you willingly forked over $400+ dollars because of the "hassle"?? I'm sorry but thats weak....And as a result you've validated the practice of "ghost" policing......I don't know what you do for work or whatnot, but the taxpayers of Olds thank you..

                            FWIW, I had a cop phone me and tell me my plate on my bike was mounted illegally, and he would be coming by to check if it was corrected, states he saw me riding on stoney....Told him to pound sand....Don't take BS, its not right.

                              I don't think it's weak i think it's being realistic, Since not changing my licenses address over, yes i got a ******** ticket but i had late fees plus i got the ticket almost a year ago and had no idea about it since it was mailed to my old house and already missed to fight it once. It was my own fault for not knowing about it and not changing my address. So i paid up since i didn't feel the need to **** around with it, take a day off and may or may not win it.

                              If my license did have the proper address and i just got the ticket recently, then i would have fought it for sure and would then agree with you it would be weak not to fight on what some dumbass said about what i was doing/not doing on the road.

                              Q-DawgVFR- I lost no points as i wasn't pulled over by the police and actually handed a ticket.
