Ban The Cams Campaign
Gets National Attention
With Mike On Crime

Creator of trafficticketguru.com Larry Stefanuik appeared this evening on the nationally syndicated radio show, Mike On Crime, to discuss the Kick off of the Sam, Ban the Scam Cams Campaign.

Mike McIntyre,Winnipeg Free Press Columnist and host of the show which airs every Sunday over the Corus Radio Network started the program by asking if the Cameras were that bad, citing an example of himself receiveing a few tickets over the course of a few months and that it has caused him to slow down, at least where the intersections are.

It was pointed out that this is common with most people, who speed up to the intersection, slow down through it and then speed back up again. This is why trafficticketguru.com is advocating more human traffic enforcement and for Winnipeg to start testing other forms of slowing traffic and making intersections safe that work and don't just allow the offence to occur while taking a photo of a car and sending a ticket in the mail two weeks later.

Winnipeg Photo Enforcement Survey and Make Your Voice Heard!

The show ended with a call to action by Stefanuik to the Citizens of Manitoba to stand up and be heard. He explained that many people are apprehensive of speaking up because the spin on Photo Enforcement makes opposition sound like a person is pro speeding and against safety. People were invited to visit trafficticketguru.com and fill out our survey.

Two of our vehicles were ticketed within a two week period. One on May23 on Bishop Grandin doing 79 in what was normally an 80 zone at 19:36 (not a construction worker in site, and two lanes were open in the direction travelled (eastbound). The sign that was posted at that time was 60 when workers present. No workers were present.

The second ticket was issued at a red light camera on Regent on June 2,2008 @11:16. The light had turned red .2 seconds before entering the interesction. The infraction was listed as 'Fail to stop at an intersection when signalled to stop by a red traffic control light'. As the driver of this vehicle I noted the light turning yellow but was unable to react and stop the vehicle in time to avoid entering the intersection. Perhaps I should have stopped in the middle and reversed back to the start. Is this safer????

My alternative action to ensure this doesn't happen again is to slow down to at least 10 kms below the posted limits to ensure I have sufficient time to stop without being rear-ended. It might annoy drivers following me and slow down traffic but I would rather do that than get another ticket.

Both of these tickets cost our family $362.00 which we paid as we do not have the time/resources to fight them, not because we felt we were guilty of any infractions.

How can this be viewed as anything but a cash grab?
