TURMEL: Covid Protest $880 Fine Trial adjourned to June 20
JCT: My trial in Brantford Provincial Offences Act Hybrid
Court slated for Feb 7 2023 at 1:30pm at
#1-102 Wellington St. Brantford N3T2M2
Offence Number 0260 999 00 1232657E00
John Turmel
You are charged:
On the 3rd day April 2021 at 3pm at Brantford You did commit
the offence of Fail to Comply/Obstruction S.7.0.2 contrary
to the REOPENING ONTARIO ACT section 10(1)
The total payable Set Fine, Costs, and Victim Surcharge as
indicated on your Offence Notice: $880.00
CR: Prosecutor A. Walsh
J: Lady Judge
CR: I would point out that the Defendant has a recording
device.
J: That is not allowed in these proceedings without the
permission of the judicial officer..
Turmel: I have a Consolidated Provincial Practice Direction
with the actual text I'm handing in to the court. It says:
Use of Electronic Devices in the Courtroom
100. Unless the proceeding judge orders otherwise, the
use of electronic devices in silent mode and in a
discreet and unobtrusive manner is permitted is
permitted in the courtroom by
d. self-represented parties...
v. only for the purpose of note-taking.
I've been doing this since 1988, 25 years, all the way up to
the Ontario Court of Appeal, so I know that it's permitted
and it's unobtrusive and it should not be a hindrance to the
court at all.
J: Is the recording in relation to other matters before the
court today or are you acknowledging in open court that you
are only recording for the purposes of your plea here today?
Turmel: Yes. I just turned it on as I approached the front.
J: Okay, if that is your undertaking that it's your honest
response, then you can start by stating your name for the
record:
JCT: Nice that the judge didn't decide to order otherwise.
Turmel: John Turmel.
J: Thank you. And could we proceed to have this addressed:
CR: Yes, we're seeking to have the matter adjourned over to
a judicial pre-trial. This is a matter that will take up a
great amount of judicial resources. I believe it's going to
take more time than we have today so I'm requesting that it
be scheduled for judicial pre-trial
J: If that's acceptable, what date is given as the
opportunity?
CR: June 20 2023 at 3pm.
J: Are you available for that purpose sir?
Turmel: Yes. I can be. Right here in Courtroom number one.
J: So June 20 2023 at 3pm for judicial pre-trial purposes.
JCT: So I don't know where the Crown got the idea that this
was going to take up a lot of resources, just a good guess.
Can't help but suspect they're going to want to give up!
