Seems like you have a lot experience in this area.........getting pulled over that is.....j/k
anyway, here's the scoop fellas...believe it or not, cops have personalities too....some can be ******, some can be nice....with that said....why, especially a lawyer, do you think you get pulled over?
I see from the posts, some condon enforcement, some think it is a waste of "their" time.
I even see we know how the speed limit is set up to begin with. Why 40 mph in this area rather 30 or 50....
My big personality factor was stop signs...no one in this little town I live in thinks stop means stop...so, should I just ignore it, after all it isn't hurting anyone...no one is there, so why stop? Why come to a complete stop, no one is around? Well, you all know the answer to this question, and you all know the answer to the speeding question as well. So, I quess in the end, you are just venting like I am....no one likes to deal with the reality you just committed an infraction, and got caught. If you walk, great cop, even though he wasted my time, and commented on my nice ride. If you get cited, then what an *****, the guy in front of me was going even faster, and he picks on the XF... It's the oldest argument on the books...but is still a fun read.
as I once had this little plague on my dash, I will repeat it again.....
SOMETIMES YOU GET THE BEAR, SOMETIMES THE BEAR GETS YOU !
