The Sumner County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee is alerting residents to a scam where individuals impersonate law enforcement to demand payment for alleged red-light camera violations. Scammers are calling citizens, threatening arrest or penalties if immediate payment isn’t made. Authorities emphasize that legitimate law enforcement agencies do not conduct such business over the phone. Residents are advised not to share personal or financial information or send money if they receive these calls. Instead, they should hang up and, if in doubt about a citation, contact the relevant court or agency directly using a verified number.
