Surrey Courthouse - Surrey

The court staff was nice, and they are very helpful with directions. However, I'm writing about my experience of going to the traffic court with a dispute to my traffic ticket. The police was waiting outside of the court room with all of us, and he talked to us before the hearing. I don't mind the talk but I find his attitude kind of condescending, as if I'm his child or something. I am not against police forces, but I think the entire RCMP needs to change their attitude towards all of its fellow countrymen. Just because we got a ticket, it doesn't give you the right to be overbearing and condescending. The judge was nice though. I don't like the fact that the police officer feels he needs to lecture others before the hearing. I hope the province can take some action against the RCMP's attitude.

The court staff work hard

It's the court house. If your there you're either in custody awaiting sentencing or your visiting someone who was arrested and is attending court. Not a good place to visit, but sometimes you have no choice. But remember, DON'T TALK TO MUCH! ALWAYS GET IT IN WRITING FIRST! Doesn't matter if your guilty or not. Cops are allowed to lie within reason.

This is a British Columbia Courthouse. I currently have a small claims case against a scam Immigration Consultant and had to go to file a document. There were very few people there as most of the cases are done on phone for both small claims and family courts. There were lots of cleaning staff on hand who were cleaning the counters at the windows in between each person's use. There are directional controls as well. It has lots of sanitizer stations. Very safe!

The lady at the front is so rude for no reason. Like if you don’t like your job it’s not our fault. Made me wait 40 min for her to “be right back” then told me to go home and grab two pieces of picture ID. When I come back they tell me they can’t help me because they are going to close soon it was 6:25 and it closes at 7. Just need help filling out a single paper

you're on hold for hours to each anyone at Civil Claims. It will take days to get a response via email, hours (almost a fully day on hold) to get in touch with someone. Our legal system is not accessible to all. Very poor. More staff is required to handle the volume.

No evidence needed. Guilty unless you have substantial evidence that you're guilty. Less of a chance you're not guilty if you're a person of colour. Crown listens to anyone who says the other person is guilty without evidence. Majority of cases I know of thay have gone through here have been false accusations where the accuser was guilty, pointing fingers at someone else. Accuser got off free and they always seem to press charges on the innocent party. If a narcissist was a person. It would be this place.

90 percent of CPS cases involve poverty issues..poverty id neglect in the ministry and courts eyes- If you are male and cant afford an.expensive lawyer you have more than a 90.percent chance of an unequal amount of parenting time from. This court house.. Appeals will. Likely have the same result if you. Cant afford rhe very expensive fees-to obtain evidence from. Private non unionized companies providing transcript services as well The ministry directly pays doctors lawyers and can pay these and other so called professionals to support their decisions which have been proven.to.neglect race and the poorer clients and families and children they are supposed to be protecting but are instead neglecting with substandard low cost care any child pulled from. A loving family will be traumatized for life that fact is ignored overlooked and the parents are denied supports in most cases but the wealthier family recieves-supports. This probably saves money but neglects children. Regardless statistically it has been proven to be racially unfair and unequally affect classes of people thus many decisions must be fabricated lies that the court accepts as fact This courthouse needs jury not judge and a 50 50 male female staff The Director for the ministry a lawyer needs to be changed for every case to a new lawyer transcripts need to be free to. Low income People same with service costs which can be expensive over time. Every SW out there must take a course where they spend time every day with low income people to understand poverty and avoid neglecting those people in the courts. BC courts serve the wealthy very well but neglect the. Less wealthy with inequality of service generally cost should be based on percentage of income not flat rates same for poor and wealthy people. I have experienced the entire family. Law system. CPS and appeals system in BC and i can say that low income working poor are very disadvantaged by the system. Even excluding all the lost time costs. The facts of the case don,t matter if you cant afford to purchase them..
