Gerald Lepitre, 43, will appear before an Ottawa, Canada provincial offenses court today to argue that an automated camera should not have issued him a $180 red light running ticket on November 1. Although Lepitre stopped before crossing the intersection of Heron Road and Riverside Drive, the device still issued a citation because he passed over the stop bar line. Lepitre drives a small bus for ParaTranspo, a service designed to assist the disabled.

"I'm not a person who goes out and violates the law," Lepitre, told the Ottawa Citizen. "I didn't go through and I did stop."

The city is standing by the ticket. Ottawa's eight red light cameras cameras have generated $2.6 million in revenue since 2001.
