Yeah but they're homicidal. Look at all the SUV owners. Only reason
they bought those is so they can kill and terrorize other drivers.

I drive at or below the limit all the time and i never get pulled over
for speeding. The previous poster says cops falsely cite drivers for
speeding "all the time".

They don't have to make up charges on speeders since speeders are
everywhere. Quotas simply force the cop to do his job.

Except in school zones that is... Or when you're "experimenting" by
doing 60 in a 55.

Ticket quotas are for one thing only: income!
What is happening is they are using the criminal code to make huge sums
of money. Some locals even use the revenue as a budget item and pressure
the local law enforcement to increase the number of tickets. Red light
and traffic cameras are also expressly about producing income. Red
Light cameras have caused n increase in accidents particularly rear
enders where they are in use.
Local Governments are extremely corrupt in some areas of the Country in
this regard. It's all about the money.

All right then. Let's stop coddling speeders with fines and instead
punish them with jail time or license suspension. Lord knows that's
whay they deserve since speeders are the deadliest and commonest
criminals in america.
