Default Traffic Tickets

Well to say the least, I've had better days. Started this morning with 2 traffic tickets totaling $500.00. Corner of 31st and Bow Trail. According to the officer I ran a red light and was driving at an "unreasonable rate of speed". What BS, the officer said he had to accelerate to 60km/h to catch up to me, little did he know that the speed limit is 60, and if he was going 60 then I was driving at a slower pace since he caught up to me.

Red light issue: I asked the officer if there is a red light camera on that corner and he acknowledged it, at which point I said that if I was guilty of running the red light, the camera should have my plate? When he replies that I was lucky that the camera didn't get me. Hmmmmmm.

Anyways, just venting, the light wasn't red, it was yellow, could I have stopped, absolutely, was I speeding nope, just frustrating, and will fight it.
