Sure, if the town didn’t suddenly drop the speed limit for half a mile right as it goes around a curve that gives the cops a place to hide and give out $20 tickets with $200 court costs that people pay online. I don’t know for a fact, but I’d bet money that the court costs go to the town (and from there to the police department), while the fine itself goes to the feds. An abrupt 45 mph zone on an interstate doesn’t protect anyone, it lines the pockets of the police department that has jurisdiction. It’s fucking predatory.
