There's a nasty one near 99 and 518 where some crazy whippersnappers are going hundreds over 65.

A quick analysis of the data showed law enforcement officers were the fastest driving vehicles on the road and 62% more likely to be on a device while driving. We'll, it doesnt say that but that's what I'd expect to find if I had the data.

Analyzing anonymous traffic patterns are arguably one of the least problematic uses of this technology. It's at an order of magnitude less problematic than ordinary traffic or speed cameras at least.

The thing that bugs me more is the obsession with finding and punishing speeders. The average driver is simply responding to their environment, and areas of chronic speeding is symptom of an engineering mistake, not a crime spree.

A lot of speed limits are arbitrary and not evidence-based. And the finances of ticketing give State Troopers perverse incentives to pursue regressive policing.

This is just gonna result in them being posted up on all the same clear, flat and straight roads they already posted up on when they needed to meet quotas only the taxpayers are gonna be poorer and some data firm is gonna be richer.
