Court Date for Traffic Ticket

I forgot to mention I did not have to pay the $172 ticket I was issued a few months back.

I was lucky because the police officer decided to be lenient and gave me a lesser ticket than careless driving.

I went to court and asked the Crown Prosecutor for a reduction on the ticket, he agreed to around $60 off. I declined and went to trial where the police officer and I presented our evidence.

I successfully argued that I was able to operate the steering wheel, braking system, and signaling device.

The magestrate (I do not believe he was a Judge) decided I was not guilty of the ticket I was issued but he would have found me guilty of careless driving.

I am happy I was found not guilty but did learn my lesson and will not film while driving again.

Response

This person has been sending me bashful comments on a few posts and I am tired of it. So if you sent these comments I have not removed them but think you should go fuck yourself and lay off.

You are a disgusting and vile excuse for a human being! These girls don't do that because they want to, they do it because they have to, and YOU exposing them DOES NOT HELP in any way. You sick pervert guaranteed you jack off when you're filming every one of those. Then you jack off to them again when you get home and watch them. Makes you feel like a BIG MAN filming vulnerable street walkers and posting them online doesn't it! You are no better than them in any way. You better watch out before one of there pimps smashes your head open after shoving your camera up your ass. Just because you have more freedom here than in your own country DOESN'T mean you can destroy the freedom and privacy of others. You sick paki taxi driver, go back home to your dirt country where you belong.

You have it all wrong. At least you openly acknowledge that there is a prostitution problem and there are pimps helping these girls and busting skulls. In at least one case that I know of the husband is reportedly the hookers pimp.

These women do have a choice, if you say they do not have a choice except to suck cock and fuck random guys for money and drugs then I did not have any choice but to film them on the street in a public place. Also in no way for any sexual gratification or voyeurism.

I believe filming these women does help... some random guy who might be thinking of banging one of these HIV positive prostitutes might think twice. I also can not confirm that any of them have any sort of sexually transmitted disease because those records are held in confidence.

Random ... The other day I was asked to pull over by two prostitutes in a vehicle. I knew they were hookers but they did not know me. I did pull over and they came up and asked me if I wanted to party, one girl flashed me and told me they were hookers. I declined their offer and they were pissed off. I guess soliciting by car has additional expenses.

Your racism and persecution towards people of XXXXXX descent is beyond me. I am not from XXXXXX. I am Canadian and was born in Canada. I do not know where you are from but here in Lethbridge I would guess 80 percent of taxi drivers are XXXXXX, likely of Canadian Nationality. So to judge me based on viewing a couple of videos is ludicrous. If you want me to "go back to my dirt country where I belong" I guess I am already here.

Filming people in public is generally not illegal, especially if they are in the act of doing something illegal; such as soliciting and prostitution. As for voyeurism it is unfounded because there is no sexual inference what so ever.

So go to the police and do whatever you need to do. Most of the videos were filmed or recorded from my personal vehicle so I am not required to inform people they are being filmed or to obtain consent.

Thanks for your 20 comments on random pages bashing me. I really do not care. As a matter of fact it humors me.
