Speeding Tickets for Emergency Vehicles

What? That's what I said. Not only did the emergency vehicles get speeding tickets with the aid of red light cameras, but the emergency department in Ottawa actually paid them.

Apparently by law, emergency vehicles must come to a full stop at stop signs and red light. If they don't, they can get a ticket. Police officers and firefighters heading to emergencies got 60 tickets last year totaling $11,000.
