EZ Pass monitoring speed

Some states are checking speeds in toll plazas:

USA Today

I recall hearing stories about the NJ Turnpike checking how fast you went from point A to point B based on your toll ticket. And then mailing tickets to speeders. It may be apocryphal tho. The same could be done using any of these electronic payment systems, it would be trivial to calculate speed between toll plazas.

Not sure if they are issuing tickets or not, but I know for a fact that when you pass under one it captures your exact speed.
