Is switching Toyota lOgo to scion logo legal in Ontario Canada ..

[marcus]

Reason I'm asking is cause I got parking ticket but they put scion since I had them replace but I drive a Toyota Yaris curious if I can have them cancel the ticket for not putting Toyota on it! Just don't ask why I switch the logo lol..

[daf62757]

Did you pay the switching tax on it? It Canada, you can do almost anything if you pay the tax!

[marcus]

i dont think we got switching tax here in canada..? but i could be wrong

[daf62757]

Careful...you might also have a thinking about a tax...tax.

[krusty]

you will not get a ticket from changing the logo on your car

[caineroad]

The officier made a mistake on the car's brand will not help to dismiss your ticket in Canada... The judge will amend it but you should however take it to court anyway, fight every ticket.

I used to be a by-law enforcement officer in Ontario, I gave roughly 60 parking tickets per day. If it was a small ticket, and not something major like parking in a handicap spot, if you go to court you will most likely win. The officer that issued the ticket will not show up. My boss would never take me off the street to fight a $10 ticket in court when I could be giving out another 60 tickets that day.

its only $40 bucks id pay it just curious if i can mention that they put the wrong car if it can be cancelled? or do i get in trouble on changing toyota emblem to scion? just curious..

[marcus]

just an update on this..parking ticket was cancelled due to officer wrote scion on the ticket where i drive a toyota..:)

[MadMax]

Great, you broke the law and got away with it! That's something to be very proud of....

[Betrivent]

He didn't necessarily break the law. He might've parked somewhere that was listed as no parking but was not hindering anybody to run to get something. Don't be so quick to judge..

[jpmck03]

He didn't necessarily break the law.

How else would he get a parking ticket? :iono: From following the law?

Isn't parking where it's against the law to park breaking the law?

[Betrivent]

He broke a parking law, which doesn't have the same connotation as breaking the law.

True, but without getting into a long-winded discussion about the semantics of it all...

He broke the law. :wink:

:respekt:

I'm not a lawyer, but it sounds like marcus:
Was accused of breaking a by-law (by the by-law officer)
challenged the accusation
was deemed innocent

RAWR

First, go look up the definition of a bylaw. It's still a law. You don't have to be a lawyer to understand that, you just have to have the ability to read and comprehend a simple definition.

Secondly, he was found "innocent" due to an act on his part of changing the badging on his vehicle; but the truth of the matter is that he is still guilty of the parking offense he committed.

So I stand by my original statement...

[MadMax]

So, illegally parking is not against the law in Canada? And why would anyone issue him a ticket for it if it wasn't?!? :iono:

[thebarber]

madmax, who the fuck cares?

[Kaykogi]

Everyone has their morals. Madmax is just standing by his. Personally, I agree with him.

[Black_griffin6]

Great, you broke the law and got away with it! That's something to be very proud of....I get what you're saying

...And I think I get what you're saying.

Are you saying that he parked somewhere that said "No Parking" but he wasn't in anyone's way by doing so? For example: Let's say he parked by the curb of an empty street that nobody ever drive on, and it said "No Parking" and he got a ticket but he wasn't harming anyone to do so?
Sorry, i'm just a little confused by this. :iono:

[Betrivent]

I'm just trying to say that even if you break the law it doesn't mean you're inherently a bad person.

[viggen]

MadMax, relax dude.... In Canada we look differently at life. $40 parking ticket is a minor offence. If parked in handicaped spot the ticked would be $500. And I would not support him here.
I expect by-law officers to know their car brands.

Peace.....

Whether or not he's wrong is not in question, we all know that he parked illegally ;)

Also, the by-law enforcement officer could have made a(n actual) mistake. Hence the court system.

Same here, I'd throw him under the bus.

[marcus]

wow this thread is getting out of hand.. by the way dont be to quick to judge about me breaking a law.. i did park on the street where there was an actual parking spot separate line for cars to park and its after hour too theres about 12 cars on the line up as well no signs of no parking but it seems like a sign was vandalized and taken off somewhere. but you really think id take a $40 worth ticket to court to explain the scenario.. i was about to pay the $40 but ask the teller about the ticket showing scion where my ownership shows toyota all she said was if ticket is inaccurate its invalid.

lol like me going 86 km/hr on 80 zone which turns into 60 and got charge for speeding i crossed that line going 70 km/hr.. i paid for a ticket thats not legit..

I am relaxed, I'm also just speaking the truth and some people can't accept it.

Parking tickets are about the same here (http://www.sanantonio.gov/court/Fines/parkingFine.aspx) and are not considered criminal cases either unless the individual fails to pay them.

But parking laws still exist despite the fact that violations are considered administrative actions. So anyone cited for parking illegally has broken the law, clear and simple.

It's just some people are mature enough to realize that and accept the consequences, and a few will always try to convince themselves they are innocent despite their clear guilt. The latter will use any excuse available to get out of their responsibilities, and the fact that marcus admitted he violated the law and honestly the by-law enforcement officer did not make a mistake but was deceived by the fact that the badges have been changed on the car.

So there is no reason to brag about the fact that the fine was dismissed, especially since the truly guilty party should have some integrity since in reality there really was no error on the part of the ticketing official.

I'm an adult, if I get caught doing something wrong I don't find ways to weasel out of my responsibility. If I was illegally parked and got a ticket, I'd pay it because I knew I was in the wrong. If I am not wrong, then I go to court and fight it. I guess there are some who don't feel the same way...

[MadMax]

Wait, you're doing 70 KPH in a 60 KPH zone and you don't think it's a legitimate speeding ticket?

Honestly, are you completely unaware of how traffic laws work?!? :rolleyes:

madmax, who the fuck cares?

thebarber, who the fuck asked you?

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding (Proverbs 17:28)

Too bad you failed. If he parked illegally (as you claim we all know), then there was no mistake by the by-law enforcement officer. I am sure even you can admit that. The only reason the ticket was dismissed was that marcus didn't have the intestinal fortitude to tell them he changed the badges on his car and take his punishment like a man. Apparently that is a tactic that is applauded by the children of Canada. Maybe once those individuals grow up a little they will learn what it means to be a man and accept responsibility for their actions. But at the rate some of you are going, it's doubtful.

And maybe you ought to learn a little bladder control...only puppies and little babies pee where they're not suppose to! :thumbsup:

My reference to the court system was that it is required in case the LEO makes a mistake (unintentional or otherwise) - else you'd have a bunch of dictators running around.

Without digressing, it's fairly clear (even to me, I know), that the OP parked illegally. And believe it or not, I've had my car ticketed and even towed once. Almost $200 later I learned a good lesson on fully reading parking signage. Would I have learned the same lesson if my car didn't get towed? Probably not. Doesn't mean I don't wish that I didn't have to pay the fine + tow charge though.

MadMax,I am a child of Canada and I do not support Marcus in this. In this case Marcus was extremely lucky to win on a technicality and should thank his lucky stars on this one.
My 2 cents worth

[marcus]

Guys don't make a big deal out of this it's a $40 ticket I got away from I'm not hurting no one and not parking on disabled parking or blocking a wheel chair driveway I simply did get lucky to get away with the ticket that's all if they ask to pay for It I would, I spend more than that in one bet on 3 card poker in casino for petes sake..

By the way me going 70km crossing 60km is still speeding but in Canada normally u don't get pulled for such speed 15 over mostlikely if they gonna charge me 10 over the limit atleast fine me the right amount..

[viggen]

Madmax just drive up to Canada and become The Judge
, oops you cannot bring guns hered. Dude relax once more or you're going to pop a vain. We get your opinion accept someone else's. Democracy, ehh?

[marcus]

" didn't have the intestinal fortitude to tell them he changed the badges on his car and take his punishment like a man" im not sure where you live bro or if youre really in texas sounds like you guys have one perfect government and maybe brain washed you and everybody else to be honest to your god forsaken government, is it midlife crisis cause if it is i would understand..you kinna sounded like my grandfather....

[johnny_vitz]

thebarber, who the fuck asked you?

I did...

this thread is now...ridiculous.

[white_rice]

Mods, this thread should be closed. Things are getting out of hand.

[MUSKOKA800]

Marcus, to your original question. In Ontario the letter of the law says we cannot make ANY modifications to our vehicles. This law is likely to avoid unsafe modification however the police or a judge may read more into it.
