If a person travels to Toronto from upstate New York, as an example, and receives a traffic ticket, I advise that the ticket be disputed in traffic court. Why? Almost two-thirds of all traffic infractions are dismissed in court because police constables don't show up.
From TheStar.com: Sixty-three per cent of Toronto officers scheduled for traffic court don't show up, resulting in thousands of tickets being tossed out every year, police Chief Bill Blair says, acknowledging a "systemic" problem in the force. Consequently, a simple "I didn't do it" will suffice to get a ticket tossed in a majority of the cases.
