if speeders just took themselves out seeking to get first place on the darwin awards, that would be one thing. There's more efficient methods to unalive oneself without depriving law enforcement, medical, and fire department resources from the community that could have been spent on someone that actually needs those services.
Call me a bootlicker, whatever you want because I want the speeds heavily enforced. I've cut too many people out of cars and told too many families that loved one passed away because they were speeding.
That's at best a straw man argument for the insane huge racket that is bandits with badges trying their best to get easy money off the taxpayer.
Everybody intelligent KNOWS that speeding tickets are ALL about MONEY and NOTHING else.
(even the news was forced to report on city managers threatening police they better get out there and write tickets for the city budget or else).
Even the way the "police" if I can call bandits with badges that with a straight face, "enforce" speed limits is pure MONEY driven Greed.
Try going to other countries where speed limits are actually about keeping the roads safe and not money.
NO hidden cops hiding in the bushes like monkeys with speed readers, no hiding out in dangerous blind corners trying to get someone.
NOPE big huge signs on the side of the road letting you know speed cameras and speed check up ahead, Big painted lines on the road letting you know you are in a speed enforcement zone. Flashing light letting you know a new speed checkpoint has been setup.
If you are dumb enough to miss all those, sure you deserve a ticket.
If it wasn't about money why would the stupid police be all pissy about folks warning others of the police ahead and telling them to slow down? Isn't that even more effective and helps prevent bad accidents when someone sees the lurking bandits with badges and slams on their brakes?
The police should hail such citizen help instead of trying to brutalize anyone that does, even when the courts ruled it is clearly an expression of free speech.
Most speed limits are set WAY too low, on purpose so when money is needed they can trap folks.
the "harshly enforced" B.S. states like VA, it's just about getting even more money with a smug B.S. coat of self righteousness.
I've driven the roads for decades in plenty of traffic and almost never see any accidents caused by speeding, most are actually caused by being dumbass and doing stupid, insane things on the road, but to the police bother with those? Nope, no money in it.
Then of course there is all the stupidity of things caused by terrible road design or stupid construction setups, but nobody cares about that because the state isn't going to get money from itself.
