You know, it's just amazing to me that the highway patrol and/or local cops don't have better things to do.

Oh, wait, they do! They just don't want to do them, or they are not assigned to do them by the administrators. Because patrolling for criminals, crime prevention and investigation don't bring in nearly as much money as tagging speeders.

It's just another form of taxation. Why don't they just forget the "public safety" bull$hit and call it what it is: taxation. Give people the opportunity, and I bet they would just pay an annual tax that would allow them to drive as fast as they want. I know I would. Hell, I do it anyway.
