"In states like Indiana, they're already using the electronic tollway passes to give people speeding tickets. How? Of course they can "clock" how long it takes you to get from one toll booth to the other to figure out your avg. rate of speed!
Not to mention the FACT that similar information is being used in courtrooms as evidence for people's whereabouts. "

Gosh, so you can't get away with speeding on the toll road?
Shocking! OK, let's look at this. You pay a toll to go on this highway, and the ticket is time-stamped. There's a speed limit sign beside the road. Now, who'd have thought that they would know how long it takes to get from one tollbooth to another? These guys are LOTS smarter than I thought.

Oh, wait...this is going to cut into your ability to break the law? Never mind...let's ban such enforcement. Feh!

Actually I think systems like this are going to go away. Speeding tickets are big revenue, but one of the reasons they can give them out is the gamble, people speed because they can get away with it most of the time. When people stop being able to get away with it they'll stop speeding, and no law enforcement agency in the country wants to lose that cash flow.
