POLICE WILL MAIL RED-LIGHT CAMERA TICKETS

Released on December 7, 2000

Effective immediately, police will be able to mail red-light camera tickets.



"Keeping communities safe is a top priority of this government and we support

enforcement practices that improve public safety and prevent accidents," acting

Justice Minister John Nilson said. "Many unnecessary and tragic accidents

occur at intersections when drivers fail to stop at a red light."



Nilson said the pilot project by the Regina Police service has provided ample

evidence of the frequency of this dangerous offence and government is pleased

to assist the police to charge drivers who run red lights.



The city had asked the province to change the law allowing red-light camera

tickets to be sent in the mail instead of being delivered by hand. Changes to

The Summary Offences Procedure Act were made during the spring sitting of the

legislature. The regulations are in force immediately.



"Today's announcement shows that, with an idea, a plan and partners, we can

change things," Regina Police Chief Cal Johnston said. "We identified four of

Regina's highest accident intersections. We enlisted our partners, explored

alternatives, developed a plan, tested the concept and equipment and then,

fully implemented our plan. We did all of this in a process open to public

view and it will result in greater safety for motorists and pedestrians."



Red-light cameras take photos of vehicle licence plates if the driver runs a

red light. The vehicle owner is then charged. But finding and personally

serving the owner with the ticket made it difficult for police to use red-light

cameras to enforce the life-saving traffic rules.
