Save your money.. check out the episode of mythbusters where they show how every one of these (inluding the spray) does not work.

Tubonator anyone?

Traffic is so terrible in & around Toronto and Ontario, I can't see how anyone can drive above the posted speed limits.

If the government implements this type of program, they should expect a reaction, whether it is new radar devices, drivers running from the police, etc. . The fine will drive some pretty strong behavior I believe.

How long will it be until GPS devices are part of every car?

I can see a day when your bank account is automatically charged by your car every time you violate any traffic "law". Consider how many times you don't come to a complete stop at stop signs....

Oh they are going to implement it, and I hope you get the first ticket. Did you also vote for Bob Rae?
