You open your hood to see a 50 mph max speed engine in your vehicle... You notice that roving speed enforcement is no longer necessary except in school zones, freeing up public resources.

You contemplate this new world... Is this... violence? It must be... manufacturing regulations are violence against businesses (people)! You relax a little. You imagine someone 'woke' being angry at your incisiveness, you are calm.

I have an engine with a 50mph speed limiter on it.

I open the hood and add a resistor across the input sensor so that it thinks I'm going 20% slower than I really am.

I start driving at 60mph.

How does society enforce the speed limit regulation against me? (Hint: the threat of, and eventually the use of, violence.)
