A bunch of food for thought in there. Sounds like CPS and the Province are going to get in a peeing match over the use of the cameras. CPS wants to be able to lay careless driving charges in some situations where people are speeding AND going through a red. The Province says there is no law in place to support the camera's use in such a way and any charges that result wouldn't stand up in court.

Calgary's police want to use red-light cameras at 40 city intersections to lay careless driving charges; the province says no way.

Under "Speed on Green" legislation supported by Ouellette's department, drivers who speed through intersections on a green light are fined, and drivers who run red lights are fined.
Those who do both should get two tickets -- but not in Calgary, where police now say they will issue only one fine for a double infraction.
Calgary Traffic Sgt. Clive Marsh says drivers who run red lights while speeding will get a careless driving charge, worth a $400 fine.
