Ok so maybe I'm overreacting in your mind. I have good cause to overreact, because I drive a LOT between states. Any given month can find me in PA, MD, NJ, NY, DE, DC, VA, OH, IN, KY, or WV. They all have different state police and different protocol.

Casting that big net to you might look very different. And remember, we don't have interstate rail like you have international rail. We have interstate roads that would be like international roads to you.

Also, speed cameras don't make the driver stop or do anything in particular, beyond paying a fine that comes in the mail days later. Cameras don't take finger prints. Speeding can't be compared to drunk driving. Most everyone speeds or exceeds speed limits. Not everyone drives drunk. People who don't drive drunk or impaired tend to resent the implication that we do, or that a dragnet is the best way to deal with those who do.
