Nothing in the article about someone who was not speeding getting a ticket.

So.... the drivers choice to speed or not apparently had no bearing on the Judge deciding it was a card of 3 game Monty.

How is it a scam when it's the drivers that decide whether or not they will speed?

Now if the village was run by Rosco P. Coltrane and he's been pulling stunts like posting a higher speed limit, then quickly changing the limit to issue a speeding ticket - yea, I could see how that would be considered a scam.

But if the speed limits have been posted for some time, haven't changed, and people are choosing to ignore the posted limit - if there's a scam, it's the drivers scamming themselves.

Caveat: given the article is by the Associated Press - it's no surprise there is no link to the actual Judge ruling so we can follow up and find out more details about what actually occurred.
