I have been in exactly the opposite situation. Having been stuck in a beater wagon with parts falling off, I know what it is like to be ignored. For some reason, an ugly wagon tearing down the street is not worthy of attention, but the sports car the wagon just passed is worthy of getting ticketed. At the end of the day, it is the officer who decides who gets pulled over, and the guy in the fast, expensive car is a much more desirable target than someone who drives a beater. A lot of officers honestly go after the guy they see going fast. You did break the law. That doesn't meant that the law or the officer is right.

I would start contacting your elected officials about the possibility of raising the speed limit.
