We should not blame the VA State Troopers (IE: "VA TAX REVENUE GENERATORS"), the fault lays with POLITICIANS whom depend on the fees, and fines to fund some of their LEO projects.
The speed limits are set lower than necessary for a reason. That reason is people with certain tendencies will go FASTER than the speed limit allows.
When a State Trooper in the 7-11 was saying the "...speed limit is for safety..." And I spoke plainly and said "That's not true, for if it were true? There would be radio controlled signals from speed limit signs that attach to an electronic governor to the gas pedal of EVERY car imported into the U.S., and they would put NEVER import, make, or allow, ANY vehicle capable of triple digit speeds!"
He had no answer. The Department of Transportation, and the Division of Motor Vehicles use the system AGAINST itself to created situations it KNOWS to be UNACCEPTABLE! It lives by the disobedience of those it licenses.
And to counter further? Remember when Tim Kaine signed off on fees/fines higher for VA RESIDENTS who were caught under the confines of the "Reckless" statutes, but passed on trying that without out of state drivers? Yeah, GA came back for a special session, and took that option OFF the table because it pissed EVERYONE off! Not just speeders!
Government rules because the citizens are quiet. Do you think the NYPD could, or even WOULD, do a damned thing if everyone 21 year old male, and female walked around OPEN CARRYING A PISTOL in civil disobedience? No, they wouldn't, the people would have spoken, they wouldn't have the resources to handle it, and more to the point, LEO's are people too, they have families, and not all are "bullies with badges". That human side would let them realize, "we're out voted here".
There's the point. Government rules because we LET THEM! If we could stop bickering amongst ourselves long enough to realize that? The guv'mint would have to do the right thing, remove some of these ridiculous regulations, and laws, and let us just LIVE OUR DAMNED LIVES IN PEACE...ALONE...WITHOUT FEAR!
