Ok I got stopped by this cop 2 weeks ago. This is what happened. He pulled me over and he told me to 1st, roll up my window, and then roll it back down. He nailed me for having tints too dark (HTA - Sect. 73(3)) "Colour coating obstruct interior".
Then he rails me about my exhaust too loud that he's standing on the pavement and can feel it vibrating. (HTA - Sect. 75(1)) "Improper Muffler - Motor Vehicle".
Okay so I think he's giving me 2 tickets but when he comes back he gives me 3.
3rd ticket is unnecessary noise (HTA - Sect. 75(4)) "Unnecessary Noise".

This guy was a total ***** to me right from the start. I told him that I asked a cop in Markham about my muffler and that he said it was okay. This guy tells me "Ya thats Markham, this is Toronto".
Do I even have a chance in court fighting these tickets?
The time of the offences is 7:36pm.
So it was really dark plus the lighting at mccowan/huntingwood is horrible. Barely any street lights at that intersection.
And my buddy was telling me that he can't nail me for unnecessary noise because of the time. He was telling me that you can pretty much be as loud as you want during the day except between 11pm - 7am.
My car is nowhere near as loud as a Harley.
If i showed up to court with an invoice showing a purchase of muffler and installation, would they drop the ticket?

The being loud anytime before 11pm to after 7 am is complete B.S. I've called the police on certain person a few houses down that refused to turn down there car stereo @ 2pm.

Really... Well, according to Transportation Canada Motor Vehicle Safety and Regulations, vehicles should not exceed 83decibels. The cop never had a decibel reader with him and just based it on his foot vibrating lol.
So do I have a case?

No. Nothing in the HTA defines a Db limit for unnecessary noise. Also, nothing in the HTA defines "hours" when louder noises are permitted. It is entirely up to the cop's discretion to decide whether the noise was excessive enough to be considered "unnecessary" given the circumstances.
