Absolute nonsense. It's a lot easier to fight a ticket than most people
think, and in some states (such as CA), a speed limit that is not
properly set constitutes a speed trap and thus any ticket issued is
automatically invalid. A roadway that's marked with tape/paint stripes
for airplane speed traps is also illegal in CA.
Just because it's "the law" does not mean it's a good idea. Most of the
time, yes, but not when it comes to traffic law.
