Smith also said the cameras violate Tennessee's open courts law because every time you get a ticket you owe $50. But if you choose to take it to court, you have to shell out an extra $86.

So, basically in Tennessee they punish you for wanting your day in court, ain't that something...

Yes, and that is the aspect that the lawyer ought to be fighting. That has, apparently, been the way things are in Tennessee for a while.

We have had there here in Missouri for few years and I have noticed that people are running red lights less. I have to deal with several a day, and have never seen a rear end collision, not that it doesn’t happen.

There have been challenges here and they have all been struck down. They violations are all treated as civil infractions with just a fine levied.

Now if it’s found out that traffic engineers are lowering the times to help generate revenue, I say sue that city until it bleeds.

You will never get a ticket for not trying to beat a yellow.
