Yeah laws just seem to be how they get us into court. how it plays out seems to be flip of a coin from some a**hole in a robe lol Canada the law is weird. Mostly in small town evidence or no evidence of he thinks it was you it was you. I've litterally done time as a youth for crime I didn't commit just because I had committed that crime before lol but the time it would take me to appeal it id be out and free and you never get that time back

Me three on time for no crime but then there was that time we bla bla bla .... Think some of it evens out for us nonviolent petty offenders, stupid stuff ....
Laws are changing but unfortunately not fast enough, especially for
@doobydoobydo and his buddy .....
In my opinion, the Judge will take into consideration seriousness of crime and defendants respect for the “System” .....
Knowing your are already stewed throwing up another what might be taken as a reason / EXCUSE for what you did will not serve you well, Judge has heard it all, even your excuse ...... So do just opposite .....
I’ve sat in traffic court, more than once awaiting my turn before the Judge and on two separate occasions I’ve skated while others get fined and traffic school and all that BS .... What I said both times:
“
Guilty as Charged,
Your Honor”
and that was all I said, nothing more nothing less ... no hellos, nothing ....
Now if Judge asks a question of course you respond but look from his side, he wants you to be a Free Person, he has compassion but he also has to do his job and make sure you are safe to return to society ... so admit you violated the laws of the land, nothing about how you disagree- no BS just bow brother - hate to but they got ya in a spot ....
In my court cases, while different, still people .... and both times Judge was handing out fines and jail sentences left and right ..... Imwas kinda worried both times but relaxed, I was quilt - now we were here to decide just what was going to be done about it ....
One 43 mph in 30 and other was for 62 in a 50 ..... so not super serious but speeding but 12-13 mph over limits .....
Both Times ..... Court Supervision 6 Months, No Fine and Erased from Record
First Judge even said: “Now that’s the most honest one I’ve heard today” .... Of course it was, I plead guilty without an excuse .... not like yea I was speeding but I had an itch and went to bla bla bla, that excuse was actually funny, Judge laughed, one but he got fined / traffic court ....
Learned from a Foreman, I had excuse why late ..... He embraced me in front of the Crew and Said “The Best Escuse Is No Excuse” ...... Never forget that moment.
Best of luck with his case.
