” Do you want a society without any law enforcement whatsoever? Really?”

This is analogous to the 15mph sign being hidden behind some brush and a cop waiting to nail people who don’t see the sign (a few places in King George County VA like that)

Nothing wrong with speed limits, but the goal should be safe driving, not revenue collection.

Look at this guy: he’ll issue a ticket if somebody is using a navigation program on the phone, but not if they are using a Garmin.

He’ll issue a ticket if they are at a light (maybe looking for a way out of tyre traffic jam), but the person could be jabbering away on the phone, but no problem.

I wonder if he would pull a woman over for curling her hair or putting on panty house while speeding down 485? (I’ve seen both) Our the guy eating dinner behind the wheel. Out the pour mother with screaming toddlers? Or ...

This dude its just a revenue collector.

This reminds me of people who get ticketed for flashing their headlights to warn oncoming motorists of a speed trap ahead. Public safety isn’t the goal as the flashing headlights encourage motorists to slow down.

There is a reason law enforcement places motorists under hidden surveillance without probable cause. Revenuers indeed!
