MISLEADING SENSATIONALISM – People will take what serves their purposes from a judgment. Like a catchy headline evoking an emotional response at the expense of understanding the logic of laws that protects us all from abuses of power.

Travelling at or below the speed limit is usually, in practical terms, dangerous. (Try it some time.) Speed camera thresholds do not accommodate reality.
