Take it to court, you'll easily get this thrown out. No passengers? No rider pickup in the app? They can't really prove you were online. Having the app open is not forbayed. GL
So many ubers without stickers and it's just so simple , honestly I don't think these will get thrown out for that very reason , It's a Sticker man !!, Put it on , jeesh.
I've never had a problem with a cabbie , one brake check like months ago , they don't give a crap anymore.
Would you believe that?, Didn't think so , just put it on man , seriously what's the big deal ?

I've never put on the sticker and don't intend to. It draws unwanted attention from other drivers and honestly, is a little embarrassing to have on my car.
Every time I pass someone on the street with an Uber sticker, I gawk inside their car and see who's driving
In this particular instance, the guy didn't have passengers. It is unlikely the ticket will net a conviction if he was not caught in the process of picking up or dropping off riders. Even still, if the person being picked up or dropped off is not a bylaw officer, there is no tangible proof that your car was actively working as a PTC at the time no sticker was displayed.
Really the guy could be going to the grocery store in his own time with no sticker. Just because his phone has the Uber app on it, it doesn't mean he was working.
In Toronto its one sticker only. Rear glass, bottom, right (passenger) side. I've only seen two or three drivers who've managed to actually put it in the right place.

Why not?
Remember when we all went to Canadian Tire for our stickers and they had instructions? The new ones don't thats why you see them in the front windowI've never put on the sticker and don't intend to.

Fight the ticket.
If you have dashcam you have proof there were no passengers.
Also save your trip details/time to proove you had no passengers inside car at the time.
The sticker is only applicable if we are picking/dropping off a car.
Most likely you had some young dumbass pig give you the ticket to meet quota as it was end of the month.
My question to you- is your car windows tinted?
Judging by your ticket. I don't think your windows are tinted

Good luck. By-law has access to see drivers online and where they were. If you are online you are considered working. If you are working you must display your sticker. Those not registered with the city don't get pings so they don't show up in their app.

Has Uber has given access to their servers? I doubt it and you again spreading fear .... . It's a private company. Bye law officer knows that you are uber or not and your profile . In my opinion last thing uber will do will give access to their servers .

Now is this assertion that bylaw officers know the location of every Uber (and presumably identifying information like plate number to connect it to a specific vehicle as proof) based on fact, or is it "based on my own assumptions of other conversations with people before that meeting on what was being worked on in a perfect world"

Its just the catch all code they write these laws in so that you cant just say "oh i have it its just in my glovebox" or something.
