While I agree cops looking for money to fund their departments is bad, people willfully endangering those around them is objectively worse.

Speed limits are put in place to keep roads safer. Tickets are a thing meant to incentivize you not to do the dangerous thing that can hurt those around you.

This is literally a tool to help you avoid said punishment, which assists you in doing the dangerous thing with impunity.

I agree cops can be bad. I agree they sometimes are searching for a problem. I agree they often cause other problems.

But speed limits literally and undeniably enforce safety. Something that allows you to circumvent them without recourse literally assists people in doing the unsafe thing.

Sure, cops can be bad. But speeding is unsafe and therefore bad too. It's not black and white.

You know how else you can stop cops from making this money back? Without assisting in dangerous road behavior? Literally obeying the fucking driving laws. They can't give you a speeding ticket if you're not fucking speeding.
