Red light and speed cameras are all digital. No chance they use film these days. They also only shoot the rear plate, just like the cameras on the 407.
With all the surveillance state, facial recognition, dash cams, security cams, doorbell cams, mobile phones etc. And yet, they can't catch vandals who've hit the same spot three times.
Good point, thugs can storm into jewellery stores and scoff hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of goods but let's go after the over-taxed and overburdened schmucks that might have gone 10 km/h over the speed limit for a few seconds.
