    Nah, name and shame, 100% that will likely actually make a difference over traffic stops or photo radar.

    Yeah, and when my GPS skips for a second and my speed registers as 89+mph for a few seconds as the system catches up I’ll really be shamed for what a horrible person I’ve been!

    (This isn’t even a hypothetical, I regularly see my estimated speed in android auto get wonky because GPS signal isn’t perfect)

      If they are using single point data I guess yeah, but they would most likely use a rolling average. Average speed over 5 seconds could account for the glitch, or only continuously updated data to avoid those rubber bands.
