These sorts of devices give the government a perverse incentive to set speed limits unreasonably low—50 on a freeway, for example—in order to generate revenue through what amounts to highway robbery.

You are fortunate to live in a jurisdiction where the government is not so crooked, but realize that many jurisdictions are not like yours.
