The Ontario Court of Justice convicted 614128 Ontario Ltd. (operating as Trisan Construction) of failing to stop at a red-light as captured by a red-light camera system.
The prosecution relied on certified documents including a certificate of ownership linking the vehicle's number plate to the defendant, and a certificate of offence confirming the red-light camera system was functioning properly.
The defendant challenged the sufficiency of ownership evidence and the operation of the camera system, and argued the vehicle could have stopped before turning right.
The Court found the certified evidence credible and reliable, rejected the defence's circumstantial evidence argument, and held the prosecution proved the offence beyond a reasonable doubt.
