About a third of states, 100 cities, and 400 counties use the system, known as The Whammy, to track speed and record it for evidence. AAA officials praise its traffic-study value but warn against using it merely as a speed trap, urging realistic road-specific limits and noting most drivers travel at reasonable speeds while a minority causes many accidents.
