I do 80 mph on Interstate 5 through the San Onofre Border Patrol check point. The speed limit is 65. There are multiple LEO cars manning the checkpoint. This is done in full view of them. They never stop anyone. If I did the speed limit like a good "law abiding citizen" I would get rear ended, or incite road rage.

If I stopped on this red http://goo.gl/maps/D5rEz , I would just feel silly. The image shows the typical crowd of pedestrians who frequent it.
