Update may/18... the judge changed his tune... my daughter brought in video proof of the same neighbor driving at her with her vehicle forcing my daughter to move or be hit... the judge claims that this is not worthy of a peace bond... claims my daughter walked in front of the vehicle... this is the definition of criminal harassment, that woman used her vehicle to intimidate a pedestrian for parking on the road... claims we should only park in our driveway... they complained about me parking on the road in their disclosure. I was taken to court based on false statements and a disclosure that gave the crown and ourselves knowledge that these people had been stalking our movements, when we were shoveling the driveway, who was shoveling, when my daughter was going to work, they provided pictures of the inside of our garage... yet the judge still claims that although I was told any private citizen can take another to court and the defendant must defend themselves... he proved that is not so and that woman can not only take a person to court without one iota of proof... but can actually continue to harass us After looking the judge in the face and promising good behavior. Can use her vehicle as a weapon of intimidation... and the judge will watch the video and blame the victim. To walk into a court house is scary, to speak to a judge is nerve wracking... to be casually dismissed after video proof has been shown? Terrifying... absolutely terrifying.. the police offered to give her an escort home After seeing the video themselves... listening to the woman laugh as she exits her vehicle, the vehicle her child was also in, the child watched her mother drive at her child's previous babysitter just because she doesn't like me? What good excuse is there to ever drive at a pedestrian on an empty street... I guess she didn't count on video surveillance, and we didn't count on a judge casually dismissing the health and safety of a pedestrian vs a vehicle. Were it not for the camera, there wouldn't have been any witnesses. As it stands, even that is not enough.
#whojudgesthejudge ? the law is the law, shouldn't be dependant on an individual's mood.
Fall/17
After numerous court dates brought about via malicious prosecution, I learned from the judge that any private citizen can bring charges without merit to the courts, and the defendant must represent themselves before the crown attorneys office has even looked at the case being brought forth.
In this particular case, the plaintiffs incriminated themselves in their disclosure. These plaintiffs abandoned their charges, here I learned that it was actually now the crowns case, and they requested a bill of sale for our family home to resolve this issue.
Note, I had offered to relocate, not to sell my property. The crown responded to my inquiry as to why they requested a bill of sale, with a demand for proof of relocation.
The crown assisted the plaintiffs, who had abandoned their case, to force us to relocate. The judge admonished me for not having changed the address on my license even though I had not completely relocated, forcing me to go to the MTO and change my address on my license and then providing photocopied proof of address change immediately.
With the charges abandoned, I was left with no voice, it was better to end this and walk away.
But 4 of the officers who had been involved and biased by the involvement of a fire fighter, have now been assessed, retrained and their records permanently set to show their prejudice in this situation through the OIPRD.
I am left paying for 2 houses until one sells. I don't think it's fair that the crown requested this solution, relocating a family of 5, when there was no trial, no proof of guilt and the plaintiffs had abandoned their claim.
Bullied by the neighbors, the police and then finally the courts. Everyone involved in this was shocked and disappointed at the lack of justice in this particular case.
