There is a difference...

between measuring time between short distances (approx 0.1 miles usually) and over a long stretch of road. Any speed measurement is some change of distance over some time increment. Monitoring somebodies whole trip and figuring out whether they might have been speeding is harassment (in my jaundiced viewpoint of course...) Then, of course, I don't really think that it is proper in a free society to use the police departments as a profit center either...

Yeah, I know... it's legal...

All true, as far as it goes. Just too simplistic. - (Ashton) - (11) - July 30, 2001, 06:17:24 PM EDT

"Too simplistic"??? That's fucking rich, coming from *you*! - (CRConrad) - (8) - July 30, 2001, 08:02:32 PM EDT
