“The existence of such laws on the books does not make them just.”

True. There are even laws on the books that make no sense, or do not apply to anything anymore.

“The protection at all costs mentality has got to stop.”

So, if you are speeding, get caught, delay producing your ID, argue with the Officer, Start barking orders to the officer, and then, when being told to turn around and place your hands behind your back, start walking away indicating you aren’t going to cooperate nor listen, and you get TASERED, shouldn’t you have a right to PROTECTION AT ALL COSTS from this type of jackboot thuggery?

You are emphasizing the behavior of the motorist, rather than the unjust nature of the law. The core issue here is nanny statism. If road conditions are normal and no workers are present, these lower limits are ridiculous. I do not advocate civil or uncivil disobedience over a trivial matter like a speeding ticket, but someone has to tell the bureaucrats to stop passing laws of this nature. In Texas, for example, lower speed limits in construction zones are only enforced when workers are present.
