I don't want to go on a rant here, so I'll make it short.
Britain is fucked. We're next.

hm...
To be honest, this whole system is overly complicated.
If the powers that be wanted to, they could just monitor the GPS signals from cars. Especially GM with Onstar, which feeds everything back to the company.
Any Garman or Magellan(sp?) could be used to do the same thing, I suppose. And as a govermental body, you could require a unit hooked up in a car, and registered to the owner... bam, instantly you are watching everyone's speed electronically all the time.
On the flip side of the equation,
I have also often wondered why GPS companies and Radar Detector companies don't get together.
Hear me out.
Garmin and Valentine get together and hook a radar into a GPS unit.
You have units running all over the highway. The GPS is not only telling the driver where to go, but also about traffic... Including Radar checkpoints.
You get a little graphic display and a warning of a speed trap Miles and Miles, and around curves well before you ever get there.
It would beat radar, laser, anything you wanted to hook into it because the GPS units are communicating.
Why is it so hard to out run police cars in a chase? Not because the individual police car is fast, but because they talk together and react as one trained unit.
So, if you could get a system of GPS units to warn people ahead of time, You would REALLY have something. I would buy that. I would spend at minimum 1000 dollars on a GPS + dectector.
The only thing I can think of as to why it hasn't come out yet, is the government will not let it.
Somebody has to pay for Obama-care, and harrass and tax branch of the social services needs to be out making certain that someone is paying...

The same technology could be used to limit your automobiles speed to the speed limit of the highway your driving on. A speed governor linked to this technology would not be difficult and has been tested. If the government was concerned about safety instead of revenue I'm sure Chairman Obama would have shoved it down our throats by now. Of coarse when the green cars are forced on us we most likely won't be able to reach the posted speed limits.
