Traffic Camera Mayhem

The urban landscape increasingly features traffic cameras. One could argue whether they exist to control driving behavior or to fill city coffers.

Either way, they are not going away. So it’s not entirely surprising that the Knoxville News Sentinel reported that a local resident went off the deep end and shot a camera three times from his minivan with a .30-06 caliber deer rifle.

The incident happened here at Broadway and Interstate 640 in Knoxville, Tennessee.
