If it helps police identify roads where more people are speeding then they can use their limited resources more effectively.

Since this is only information gathering, and not actual enforcement, from citizens I think it is OK.

If you read the second to last paragraph in the article it says that half the cars were not speeding and of the ones that were most were under 10 mph over the limit. Only a few were 15+ mph over.
