Question
A friend was accused by mall security of stealing.
The investigating cop believed her explanation and decided not to charge her with Theft Under. However, he did issue a ticket for Engaging in Prohibited Activity ($50).
The cop told her that she should just pay the fine or else her driver's licence could be suspended (?!). I assume this is bulsh*t - right?
She was also given a trespass notice (even though her wedding registry is at that store). Is there a way to quash the trespass notice? Does it remain in effect until she wins her Trial?
Thanks in advance,
RMR.

Answer
The trespass notice has nothing to do with the charges.
Any mall store etc can issue a trespass notice they do not need to go to court.
As to the fine and Drivers lic, it dep[ends on what province you are in some do have systems attaching unpaid fines to Lic renewal.
