I got a ticket doing 70 in a 55, in rural GA, on a road that you could drive 90 on and be safe. The only thing around me were cotton fields. Afterwards I slowed down for the next ~12 miles until I go to my destination and there was a line of at least 8 cars on my ass and that was after 3 cars had passed me. When I was doing 70 there was at least 20-30 seconds between cars. I didn't pass anyone. Me driving 55 was LESS safe.
If you are a cop that does traffic duty, I honestly don't know how you sleep at night after a day of stealing $ from citizens. You are in no way making anyone safer. Police were never intended to be revenue collectors for municipalities.
I understand watching your speed in neighborhoods, etc. But sitting on big open rural roads just to steal $ is BS.
