This is a short clip of President Obama being interviewed on the Tavis Smiley show. The comments were made jokingly but it is in fact it is the reality in which we find ourselves. Studies have shown that most roads without speed limits are as safe or safer than those with speed limit. So, speed limits are just another government revenue generation scheme, a hidden tax on the poor.

Massachusetts department of transportation handed out about 900 speeding tickets on a newly created stretch of road. The issue is that they did not follow their own laws around setting speed limits and enforcing them.

They have publicly admitted to the tickets being illegal and unenforceable, but when asked about possible refunds, they basically told the media that you would have to take them to court if you want your money back.

the illegality is due to the the state not performing an engineering study to determine the maximum safe speed for the stretch of road.

Campaign finance system is a mess. Limits have just created a cottage industry for lawyers who devise schemes to circumvent them.Too much money in politics.

Florida Highway Patrol illegally ticketing motorists who flash their lights to warn of speed traps. Class Action law suit may cost taxpayers millions.

Like a regular speed camera, it can fine drivers who go over the speed limit, but there's also a carrot to go with that stick. If you follow the speed limit, you are entered into a lottery with cash prizes!

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President.

Many people call them "speed traps," cops call them "Speed Enforcement Details." Regardless, they're designed to save lives, but this weekend, a woman on a motorcycle was killed while being pulled over. "They were wearing helmets. They don't drink. They were out for a nice "Sunday cruise" and now Margie is gone," said the victim's friend, Nancie Risola. "Margie's not gone because they were going a little over the speed limit," Risola said. "She's gone because they were stopped in an unsafe place."
