Don't forget to come to a complete stop before making a right on red, too or you can be fined. I think the idea behind the cameras is OK... make people follow the rules and make intersections safer. I think the hearing should not automatically make you pay more. How do we know the camera is accurately measuring speed?

It just seems a little overkill for a town like Morristown.

I did find this interesting website about Knoxville implementation issues: http://www.piratenews.org/kill-robocops.html
