I don't trust them to take an accurate speed reading.  They may be 
getting mixed signals from multiple cars or multiple points on your car.  
I have often driven by those "Your speed is ..." signs and watched 
random numbers flicker from 13 to 62 for what should have been 35.

What really pisses me off is the belief that all accidents are caused by 
speeding and a camera will fix it.  I have to honk at lane drifters 
daily in San Mateo county.  I've seen more gory accidents than I care 
to.  Speed cameras wouldn't have noticed.  Where are the police officers 
that should be taking drunk, senile, and texting drivers off the road?
