Interesting points of view, I wonder however why that person has stopped at the lights in such a position that they had to move over if an emergency vehicle should appear. Why hadn't they considered this when stopping, does no-one plan ahead any more?

Thats easy to explain - you were already stopped at the stop line before the emergency vehicle appeared.

How exactly is the red light camera triggered anyway

So you are saying that when you (the global you, not you personally) approach a set of light or other junction, you just stop wherever you happen to be in your lane?
You don't check your mirrors and assess the traffic around you and position your vehicle accordingly before stopping?
Whether there is an emergency vehicle around or not why would you position your vehicle in such a way as to prevent one from passing if necessary?
How many times have you been filtering and come up against two cars tight up against the lane divider and you have to stop and wait for them to move or make them aware of your presence. They aren't moving and gain nothing from it. It's just lack of forward planning and lack of consideration for other road users.

Sorry I was referring to being in a car, so no room to "position" other than stopping a cars length before the stop line which is what I would do to give me options when in the car if I see blues approaching from behind,
