I believe that if they sent you a speeding ticket because your times between 
toll booths were the basis you could beat it because it is a basis of 
discrimination because the cash users would not be caught.  But, even it 
they did catch both electronic toll payers and cash toll payers, then an 
easy court challenge would be to prove that the two stations were properly 
synced just as you can challenge a radar device on its calibration.
