Great thread... I got my first ever speeding ticket, and plan on going to court to get the $187 ticket reduced (or hopefully kicked-out).

I got done by those Rocky View constables out in Springbank, and the court is in Cochrane. Any advise on that would be fantastic.

And as for the other jay-walking topic, I'm pretty sure your court date is to either plead it down, or set a trial date if you wish to plead not guilty. It is only then that the cop will be informed he needs to go to court when you plead not guilty at your first apperance.

Could you imagine if every cop had to show up to the court date stated on the tickets on the off chance that everyone was going to plead not guilty and go to trial?

They'd never leave court.
