I'm all for more efficient enforcement. Can't catch everyone - but for instance today -
I was coming past the Boone Gate on Paradise on my way to the golf cart bridge from my end of the neighborhood. I was behind three other golf carts. The speed limit after the intersection is posted as 15mph. We were all going around 17-18mph. And the guy directly in front of me shifted over to the other side of the road and passed the other TWO golf carts - very obviously going well past 25mph.
If there had been a police car at the fire department, the postal parking lot, or the rec center parking lot, they could've pulled that guy over and given him a ticket for a few different violations.
But there is never a police car at these locations, unless they're called to handle an existing problem.

Your position is fine. It sounded to me like the other poster was talking about law enforcement inspecting "all" golf carts. Let's see---60,000 carts in TV alone---what would that cost in time and $$$. Besides, one could jack up the speed, turn it back down for "inspection" then jack it back up---from what I understand, all it takes is a zip tie on the governor. Unless they schedule and co-ordinate 60,000 unannounced inspections---good luck with that.......
