And what's wrong with this? I hope Tennessee makes all kinds of money if it means it will help bring down the number of our citizens being slaughtered on our streets because of the CRIMINALS who feel traffic laws apply do not apply to them. Yes, criminals. When you exceed posted speed limits, fail to stop at posted intersections or run through redlights, not only are you are breaking the law you are endangering everyone around you. People that break the law are criminals. Criminals are to be punished. If our cash-strapped state can help allieviate a small part of our fiscal delima by prosecuting criminals and collecting fines and fees from them - what's the problem? > I think most states do not use these cameras for any reason other than to
