“or write tickets to a motorist who was 8mph over because all of the traffic was”

“But mommy, all the other kids were doing it too” never passed the smell test when I was growing up.

Neither did “but mommy, he called me a name.” Unfortunately all the hot tempered and taser happy cops on the streets never learned that lesson.

Ah, but you’re neglecting to observe that by going the speed limit the officer can also pull someone over for “impeding the flow of traffic.”

Um, it's called "moving with the flow of traffic". And cops know where the 55 mph limit is too low and traffic flows at 5-8 mph over. They can always go there to meet their quota er, keep their "activity" up.

It is a great way to undermine respect for the law and peace officers er, "Law Enforcement" officers.

Works for cops, should work for the rest of us.
