I dont know about Canada but in the US a cop has to actually witness you doing it, not just hear about it from someone else. I would imagine otherwise it would be hearsay.
So I was driving home from my game just now and I made a complete stop at a stop sign. This lady is turning so I let her turn, but as she's turning she makes a stop which throws me off and me having my usual instincts I let go of the pedal but immediately stop again. She finally makes her turn and I drive off, then I notice her doing a 3-point turn and coming back to me. I roll down my window and she starts babbling how I didn't make a legitimate complete stop and that her boyfriends a cop, gonna get me in trouble, blabla.
So I'm just asking all of you road guru's if anything will happen? She also comes into my work all the time and she recognized me.. awkward.

Can I just say this lady is stalking me from my work and randomly accused me of this?

Honestly, if the cop wasnt there, it didnt happen. He can't go on her word... Dont sweat it. She's a bitch that needs to learn how to ddrive.
Nope youre fine, telling that bitch to learn how to drive and mind her own damn business though next time you see her.
What's my definition of success?
Creating something no one else can
Being brave enough to dream big
Grindin' when you're told to just quit
Giving more when you got nothin' left

Cop gives you trouble, file a report to his department for harassment.
Abuse of power.

Nothing will happen Joe. It is just hearsay evidence. Her account of the story would not be admissible in court since she has no proof of you doing anything. Legally in Ontario, a complete stop is 3 seconds long. So you stopped and just let go of the pedal. No big deal. At least you stop at stop signs, there are so many idiots who do rolling stops and that is a pet peeve of mine.
Her boyfriend can't write you a ticket, it is probably out if his jurisdiction, and he was probably not on duty. This woman is trying to fuck with you, so make it clear that if she talks to you again there will repercussions. Don't let it bother you.
If you need any more advice, let me know... I know the Highway Traffic Act pretty damn well.
Yeah I can't see how they could possibly charge you for that if a cop didn't see it, she could just be making shit up if she had a personal grudge against you, you'll be fine.
