Default What is it? CXLV


Here (Saskatoon, Canada), the city installed a red light cam at an
intersection near a new auto mall that they developed and encouraged
dealers to move to. The dealers are now going to court to challenge the
constitutionality of the law, as they're getting the tickets from
customers on test drives running the red.

It'll be an interesting case. Finally there's somebody with pockets
challenging this cash grab.


If the car is really doing something illegal and is caught on camera, I
don't have much problem with automated ticketing.


I read a story somewhere stating that insurance stats show that there are
actually MORE accidents at red lights with the cams. Seems that people tend
to slam on the brakes for a yellow light to prevent the chance of getting a
ticket. This causes a lot of rear end collisions.
