You have to remember that speed kills in a lot of instances. Many accidents could have been avoided if the person had not been exceeding the speed limit. That being said I speed, but I am smart about it, I take all circumstances (traffic, weather, etc) into account.
With the above in mind a lot of coppers take the above into account as well. Personally speeding on a wide open road (not excessive speeding) would be used as a justifiable reason to stop the vehicle and speak with the driver. If you fail the attitude test (A@@hole) then you get your ticket. Otherwise its a polite warning. Many traffic stops result in what some of the above people posted such as discovering drugs.
'Nuff said, the police in general are doing this for your own safety but as in any crowd there are still some ticket commando officers.
Also, there are still hundreds of police working on all your complaints such as drugs, violent crimes, etc. Traffic cops are just another department, all other aspects of crime are still being looked after. Get off your high horses and accept the fact that you got caught and punished for doing something YOU KNOW IS WRONG!!!!!!!
You all already know this, sorry for the long post.
