The VPD investigation report to my complaint has also indicated that should a driver believe he has been wronfully issued an N&O, the appropriate recourse is civil litigation. It is not obvious to me whether that means you sue at the provincial court level, the Supreme Court level, or whether it would just be a small claims court / Civil Resolution Tribunal type of thing.

The point is, there is no dispute mechanism like there is on a speeding ticket. This is why the VI mechanism is such BS.
Thanks, I guess we will have to wait for a driver with deep pockets to spend the money and time to put this issue on the VDP spotlight again. I'm sure the traffic cops higher-ups will be pissed to have to deal with all the paperwork and interviews if this goes through.
