    Canada: Man Ticketed for Stopping at Red Light
    Gerald Lepitre, 43, will appear before an Ottawa, Canada provincial offenses court today to argue that an automated camera should not have issued him a $180 red light running ticket on November 1. Although Lepitre stopped before crossing the intersection of Heron Road and Riverside Drive, the device still issued a citation because he passed over the stop bar line. Lepitre drives a small bus for ParaTranspo, a service designed to assist the disabled. "I'm not a person who goes out and violates the law," Lepitre, told the Ottawa Citizen. "I didn't go through and I did stop." The city is standing by the ticket. Ottawa's eight red light cameras cameras have generated $2.6 million in revenue since 2001.

    That one should be easy to beat if straddled the stop line. If braked harder he would endangered the handicaped passengers.
