This isn’t about some tiny amount of revenue, cops hate this dangerous practice of an anal weirdo throwing a wrench into freeway traffic flow.

A single car blocking the fast lane can cause havoc over all the lanes.

This is the 800 lb gorilla in the room. It is actually very dangerous, on many levels. That is why they want to pass a law against it. It will hit the speed nannies, but it will also be a wake-up call to those who think they can slip into the passing lane and put their mind on autopilot. That is no way to drive at highway speeds. Those people need to have someone else drive or take the bus.

Traffic flow is everything on the freeway, it is more important than if that flow is at 55 or 65, or 75.

can slip into the passing lane and put their mind on autopilot.

Not so much their mind on autopilot as their car on cruise control and unwilling to step on the gas because (and you've seen it here) "They're going fast enough, and if they're going fast enough, then you shouldn't go any faster either"
