> more people may feel comfortable going 8-10 mph over the limit.

Is that more or less than the current status quo? I'm not in California but it sounds like everyone feels comfortable doing that anyways.

Also you can still enforce 1-10 mph over the old fashioned way.

> Those who can afford the $50 fine (which, knowing CA, is a big part of the population) without any other consequences will end up ignoring it and just paying the fee or using their significant wealth to fight the fees.

Doing this every time you speed would add up very quickly. Also if you're talking about middle class people $50 is not amount that feels like nothing to them.

> The rest of the people just won't pay it because they cannot afford it.

Like you said, this is a very small number of people that we probably don't need to be punished any more by society.
