Here is a good article in The Star regarding fighting tickets in the GTA.

Star Article

Quote: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.

Quote:He also cited a shortage of justices of the peace, which compounds court backlogs that currently mean waits of up to a year before a case gets to trial.

Quote:About 46 per cent of ticketed Toronto motorists contest their tickets in court, Ministry of the Attorney General figures show.

Just goes to show that it's worth a shot to fight any tickets in the GTA the odds are in your favour that the cop won't show up and your ticket will get dismissed. :D
