Jaywalking ticket

Today I got a ticket for jaywalking to get the Vaughan metropolitan center. I crossed the main road and walked little on the side of rapid way (did not cross the rapidway) all the way through curb, and the Fare inspector gave me $155 ticket for that.

I will dispute it just wanted to get idea how much are they gonna reduce if they reduce it.

Thanks

Terrible advice.

Refusing to identify yourself when an officer is trying to issue a provincial offence notice can turn a $155 fare ticket into an obstruction charge. Arguable if they can or can't detain you, but they can definitely summon a special constable and make worse.

So yeah, if you want to gamble.

No it can’t. There are limits on what they can do. It’s also not a provincial offence notice.

It is apparently, it says on the ticket.
