Future of Surveillance

When I visited my buddy a few years back, they had cameras/lights every so many miles on the major highways. I asked him about those and he said it's for clocking speed for vehicles. If it's 25 miles away, it should take you X time driving the max speed. If you get there faster, then you were obviously speeding, and therefore get a ticket. It floored my jaw at just how nanny state they are.
Do you believe some methods of enforcement are acceptable, or do you believe speed limits should be removed entirely? If your objection is to this method in particular, why?

I've been it taxis in England and we'd be moving at a good pace on the highway and the driver would slow down to get his average speed down.
