I'm not arguing whether or not I broke the law.
I'm saying that the law they are enforcing has little to do with public safety, and is all about revenue generation.

This is just a modern day speed trap run by corrupt jurisdictions.

It's already been proven that many "speed limits" are arbitrary and just used to pad local budgets.

Then drive around them. Most laws are arbitrary. You have 3 choices. Follow them and enjoy your day, break them and pay the price, change them.

This might just be a regional thing as I live in the NE part of the US where corruption is rampant.

I’m gonna use that next time I’m pulled over. “Officer, that’s an artificial speed limit. If I were driving a ‘67 Camaro I’d accept the ticket, but not today chief, I’m in a 2010.”

I loved it back in the day when the PA turnpike had signs posted like
speeding:
70-75 mph $100 fine
76-80 $125
81-85 $150
And I’d be like pfft, I can afford that.

*those were not necessarily the right figures, but the right sentiment.

In Ontario they have the same... Like
110km/h=100$
120km/h=150$
150km/h=10,000$

My feeling is always: "woooo, that escalated quickly"

But I never go over 107 so I'm good.

107? That's like 65 mph. Some parts of Texas have a limit of 85 mph.

I haven't decided on the specifics yet but I'm planning on well over 1000. I'm worried about longevity based on the block material.
