Brampton Car Accident: Wrongly Charged
TL;DR: I got charged for careless driving. Two witnesses said it was my fault, police refused to look at my dash cam footage. Other driver got charged nothing.
I was involved in this accident on Aug. 7th 2016. I was driving straight through the intersection and the light was green for me. The driver in the opposite left lane was turning and did not pay attention to the road and hit my car. I braked as hard as I could but it was not enough to stop the collision since the other driver kept turning.
Right away after the crash there were 2 people who claimed it was my fault because they said she had the advance arrow on her side and the light was red for me. When the police officer came the two witnesses said I sped through the intersection when it was her right of way (clearly this video shows otherwise).
The officer only spoke with me once to ask what happened and I told him that she turned and ran into me when I had the green. At the time my brother was on his way with his laptop so I could try and retrieve the video from the camera to show the cop.
After the cop took the statements he went in his car. He never spoke with me again except that first time to ask what happened and to get my driver's license and insurance. After he came out of his car he told me he had bad news because she had 2 independent witnesses say the same thing that I am at fault and was charged.
However, you can hear one of the witnesses in the video say at 1:02 , “The light was green!” But then he tells the police that it was my fault and I should have braked. I claimed that I have a dash cam with video footage proving my innocence.
The officer refused to look at the video footage saying I should have told him before I had a dash cam, but I explained that I was trying to retrieve the footage at the time. Furthermore, he never once asked me what proof I had to prove my innocence or anything along those lines.
He just went into his car after taking initial statements and wrote his report. I told him I have the objective evidence but he did not want to look at it at all and told me to use it as evidence in the court.
Take the case to court.
