The way I see it is that this device benefits the following people;

a) those who travel in excess of 20km/hr over the limit ALL the time
b) those who travel in excess of 20km/hr over the limit ALL the time
c) those who travel in excess of 20km/hr over the limit ALL the time
d) all the above.

In this day and age, most of us already know where the popular areas for speed enforcement occurs.
Pretty much this... let's be cereal here, the speed according to the flow of traffic is typically 10-15 over, which means you likely won't get pulled over for going that fast. Going slightly faster than that, say another 5 km/h, will rarely catch an officer's eye unless you are A) alone or B) driving Brian O'Connor's orange Supra from F&F1...

With that above scenario, you are already doing 15-20 km/h above the speed limit, which IMO is plenty. If you go faster than that then IMO you deserve a ticket. Just leave 5 minutes earlier next time, or take all that money you budgeted for a laser jammer and/or speeding ticket and do some autocross. Trust me, speeding on a track is WAY more fun when you don't have to worry about getting lane-changed into by some C-Lai.
