I don’t know when it was eliminated, but my first guess for not raising the limit in certain states is due to revenue generation. Call me cynical.

An even more cynical explanation is that an unrealistic limit exceeded by literally everyone functions as a loophole to void the 4th Amendment and allow fishing stops of literally anyone.

Like Ayn Rand had written:

There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. When there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
