That's actually not true unless you can provide new evidence. That started as a rumor b/c people using EZ Pass were being issued warning letters, not citations, telling them to slow down when going through tolls. People misinterpreted that to believe their average speed between tolls was exceeding the speed limit.
Camera systems based on average speed have been used in other countries, but not the US so far. The way to beat the cameras was actually pretty simple...change lanes.
