    When I lived in Clarksville, they had intersection cameras to ticket anyone that ran a red light. Couple problems with it.

    1. Drivers started slamming on their brakes; causing more accidents
    2. The city outsourced the cameras, so they received only pennies on the dollar for every ticket.

    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.
