Wouldn’t it be something if all the drivers in Tennessee drove very carefully so as to not get tickets.
Then what? Kind of like redlight cameras.
The cameras were to be funded by ticket revenue from the red light runners. Drivers got wise and quit running red lights and the revenue dried up. Then the city had to shut down the cameras because they didn’t have the revenue to fund them.
That happened in Dallas, Texas
You’re kidding. I got a ticket in TN last year for backing out of my driveway. I was cited for failure to stop at a STOP sign.
I went to court and won but lost a day at work. Notice how these new charges only affect those who do NOT contest the ticket.
The same unintended consequence is happening with power companies across the country. People are asked to “conserve energy,” and when they do, the companies don’t make any profit, so they are forced to raise rates.
I turn on all my ceiling fans and lights before I go to work now. Gotta do my part. And I think i’ll say its for the children. Thats the ticket!
