When I lived in Clarksville, they had intersection cameras to ticket anyone that ran a red light. Couple problems with it.
I think they eventually removed them, but I can't recall. I visited last September to take a class for work, and I didn't see any cameras, so they might be gone.
Dresden’s House rep got a bill passed several years ago to outlaw them. The Australian vendor’s lobbyists managed to get a carve out for school zones and blind curves, but I haven’t even seen any of those in years.
Wait...so the company that supplied the cameras wasn't even from the U.S.?
Wow...this just gets more insane the more I learn about it. As conservative as Tennessee can be, they first outsourced their law enforcement for a return of pennies on the dollar to the city, AND the taxpayers ended up subsidizing a foreign company.
As I understand it, this is exactly the case. It’s insane.
Personally, I'm not that surprised by it
