Tennessee to outlaw red light cameras?

HB 1256/SB 3040 has passed the House transportation committee. This bill would outlaw red light photo enforcement effective January 1, 2011.

In an email, Rep. Susan Lynn stated:

Transportation Committee lawmakers echoed criticisms from constituents that in addition to a violation of rights, the motivation behind the cameras is money, not safety.

It should be noted that the bill does not prohibit the possible introduction of ‘speed cameras’. However, this bill is very important and needs to pass. I urge you to email your state Rep. or Senator soon.
