"Mount Carmel's traffic cameras don't blink for THP, Hawkins Sheriff's patrol cars; THP gives Mount Carmel officer speeding ticket"

Mount Carmel Police Chief Jeff Jackson noted that police officers are only allowed to speed when en route to a call, and with their blue lights and siren activated. He said the warnings and citations issued to the HCSO and THP recently via the Mount Carmel camera system involved patrol cars that were speeding without blue lights and siren activated.
