No need to step away. The ruling was based on the interstate commerce laws - it does not give the gov't jurisdiction over ALL economic activity. And a fairly recent attempt to force another fit scenario - a federal ban on guns near school, 'cuz the gun was probably bought across state lines and because a dead student can't engage in interstate commerce - was struck down by the courts.

Comment Re:what about haveing speed limts that go with the (Score 1) 760

That is essentially what they do, in California at least. Limits are based on the 85% rule, the speed that 85% of the drivers don't exceed. That base speed can then be adjusted down, based on surroundings (e.g., hidden hazards or high accident rates). Traffic surveys (speed zone surveys) are regularly carried out, and radar tickets are only valid if the road was surveyed within the past 5 years. (Radar tickets can still be issued; it is up to the accursed to fight it.)
