Issuing fines for speeding is lucrative, however. Isn't there surveillance technology that can take a picture, recognize your registration plate, and

that it can monitor your movements as you travel.
But at least the damn things only take photos if you _are_ speeding. Be grateful for our toll-free roads. On the French autoroutes, they can issue you with a speeding ticket if you get from one toll booth to the next too quickly, which means they must routinely register which vehicles go through and when.
