Speed Cameras In Ontario

[pontiacgp]

Another money grab for the province. They claim it is for safety but if you have the money just pay the tickets and keep on going.

Ontario government clears way for municipalities to install speed cameras on local roads

We have them here in the states too

We also have the RIGHT to face our accuser..

So when you go to court ask the Judge

Where is my accuser

So glad to hear your government up north cares about your safety as much as ours does here in the states.

They don't carry any points here in MD, and the max fine is $40. I just paid one; I like to write "Robot Anal Sex" in the memo section on the check.

It is for safety, they safely fine you & take your money from a safe location for their safety.

I'd like to know the total number of fatalities directly associated with speeding in school zones, and if the speed cameras are a proportionate response with respect to the ROI as opposed to... say... improved driver education and training.

*ssh*les aren't going to stop being *ssh*les because you ticketed them... they just become bigger *ssh*les.

In South Carolina, generally a red light camera is not allowed. I always look, though.

And speed cameras to mail you a ticket? Not here.....at least not yet.

SECTION 56-7-35. Uniform traffic ticket for speeding or disregarding traffic control device; incident to and contemporaneous with traffic stop; delivery; use of photographic evidence; exception for toll collection violation.

(A)(1) A law enforcement officer who issues a uniform traffic ticket for a violation of a local ordinance or traffic laws relating to speeding must do so incident to and contemporaneous with a traffic stop.

(2) A copy of the citation must be given directly to the offender by the law enforcement officer issuing the citation at the time of the traffic stop for the offense.

(3) A law enforcement agency may not utilize the United States mail, a parcel delivery service, electronic means, or otherwise to send to the operator or owner of a motor vehicle or motorcycle, as defined in Section 56-3-20, a uniform traffic citation alleging a violation of a local ordinance or the traffic laws relating to speeding. This subsection does not prohibit the law enforcement agency from sending the operator or owner an additional copy of a uniform citation that was issued to the operator or owner during the traffic stop for the offense upon request of the operator or owner.

(4) A uniform traffic citation alleging the violation of a local ordinance or the traffic laws relating to speeding may not be issued based in whole or in part upon photographic evidence, whether gathered in conjunction with radar speed detection devices and whether the camera or other electronic device capturing the photographic evidence was attended or unattended at the time it captured the photographic evidence. This section does not prohibit the use of photographic or video evidence at any hearing related to the offense to corroborate the testimony of a law enforcement officer who personally observed the offense.

I can tell you for a fact, that the red light cameras have caused more accidents around here.

People constantly jamming on there brakes as soon as they see one or if WAZE sets off an alert regardless of the color of the light

F'nn moron pedestrians...a rant..
This area of Toronto, Scarborough, has long stretches of roads without pedestrian crossings. Just recently a 10 mile length of a 6 lane major traffic artery has it's speed reduced from 60 km/hr to 50 km/hr(30MPH). Toronto has turned into a bag of sh*t for motorists.

Around here, the roaming camera vans are what will get you. They started in construction zones, but lately they also get parked randomly on the shoulder of the interstate, pretending to be a broke down vehicle.
