This has already been done, the main problem is that the police guns tend to read the highest speed (as they measure the crowd, or try to). If you tell it you are travelling at 55, it will pick out the higher speed. The solution has been to inject a higher than obvious speed.. say 110-140, the machine defaults to that, and the fuzz can see you are not going that fast, so he takes his gun in for repair. There were some other comments about this earlier on, anyone remember the rest?
