I agree with you there, and really i think speed limits are super conservative in some situations. ie.) a country road only being 55 when it could easily be 75, or an expressway/Thruway being 65 when it could be 85. However, my personal belief is that police should be protecting, serving, and solving real crimes; instead of waiting around at a certain spot to harass people as they drive on a road for going "too fast". There should not be room in a police budget for nitrous in every car and should have no reason to have a Corvette police car on the Thruway.
In all, I think that there are too much police roaming around, especially with all of the silly drug laws. Legalize and tax the drugs, then we aren't spending billions on a war that we are losing; rather, we'd be making money off the druggies to put them in rehab programs. This would also mean less prisons.
Oh yeah, my best was going 95 in a 35 (I was really wanting to get home for a piss). I was going to get pulled over for someone stealing my license plate and for going 50 in this 35. So I gunned it, zigged and zagged thru side streets. The cop couldn't get close enough to get my back plate number. I intelligently fooled him into thinking I pulled out of my apt. complex's parking lot by making a couple quick turns, then killing the lights as he blew by me. FWIW, I spent the next couple minutes stealing a license plate temporarily and scratching off bumper stickers
