The little gimp will now sue the manufacturers of the car he and the officer were driving.

Might not be a bad idea. Why is a car manufacturer allowed to produce a car that can exceed the maximum legal speed? In Georgia the maximum legal speed is 75 MPH and yet some new vehicles are capable of speeds exceeding 185 MPH.

Um, because the speed limits can change and are different in different states? And because people don’t necessarily operate their vehicles on public roads? Or because in case of emergency, you MIGHT need to go a lot faster in order to save a life?

Jimmy Carter proposed that idea, they are called “carterized” autos.

Nobody wants them.
