Thank you for keeping us informed. I was in TN the other day and noted that it is far more stressful to drive in that state than it used to be. Nearly every city and town has red light cameras, severely underposted speed limits and speed cameras intermittently. I actually turned around and decided it wasn't worth it to go to one town after I saw a sign saying they had speed cameras. Add to that the unmarked police cars. Are the people in TN mad about this abuse of power? It hasn't quite gotten this bad in GA yet.

I know I do. Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
