Speeding in School Zone Ticket & Fine

I'm curious to hear what people's take on this might be.

Seattle cops ticket bicyclists for speeding near elementary school

I'm on the side that says this is a good thing. We're talking about elementary school kids; I've got one of those, and they're unpredictable little buggers. A bike blazing through that zone on a downhill can do a heck of a lot of harm in that situation.

Thoughts?
