Where I live, going the speed limit gets you run off the road. I’m not even exaggerating.

If only there was a way to remotely monitor and cite speeders

They tried that for a few years. People went to court to challenge them, overwhelmed the court system, and made it not cost effective to pursue people.

Where they winning cases on merit or just so many cases filled that the court could not process the number of cases? I would be interested to read up on that if you had something on that.
I know of a situation where a municipality had not done the required traffic survey to justify the speed limit. In that case, if challenged in court, tickets get dismissed. One individual knew the law, was constantly cited, kept going to court to get the tickets dismissed. Eventually the individual filed a RICO suit against the government that forced them to do the traffic study, which resulted in the speed limit being raised.
