As for beating the tickets apparently if you have a license plate holder that obscures the Alberta on the license plates because they cant determine if its an alberta plate or not.
Firstly, I don't think obstructing your plate is really the answer considering that alone is a ticket.

And, in regards to reducing accidents, they do...

From the year before any cameras were installed (2000) compared to 2011:
  • total collisions at ISC locations have decreased by 17 per cent;
  • fatal collisions at ISC locations have decreased by 100 per cent;
  • injury collisions at ISC locations have decreased by 47 per cent; and,
  • property damage collisions at ISC locations have decreased by 11 per cent.

How do you determine the locations?
Locations are selected based history and severity of collisions, violation rates, and traffic safety concerns.
