Tickets Tossed In Toronto

If a person travels to Toronto and receives a traffic ticket, Interested-Participant advises 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.
