Photo radar camera upgrades
According to the March 16 edition of the Stony Plain Reporter, The City of Spruce Grove is in the process of upgrading their photo radar system. Mobile units will be replaced with stationary red light and speed on green cameras at four intersections along Highway 16A.
As usual, safety reasons are touted and revenue generation is downplayed.
Guilty until proven innocent
The most serious issue I have with the photo radar system is the Spruce Grove Mayor, Stuart Houston, seems believe in a system where people are guilty until proven innocent. According to the Stony Plain Reporter, Mayor Stuart Houston says…
The undeniable fact is that anyone who receives a red light, speed on green, or photo radar ticket is breaking the law.
From this statement I understand that the photo camera systems are absolutely perfect and that everyone who receives a ticket in the mail deserves it.
What a load of steer manure.
My questions for Mayor Stuart Houston
- Are you telling us that the photo enforcement system is absolutely perfect?
- Are you telling us that all tickets issued are 100% valid 100% of the time without fail?
- Are you telling us that anyone who receives a ticket is automatically guilty?
