I encountered this just the other day in the small town I live in, that only has a population of 500. The speed limit in town is 15mph. Easy to achieve. There was a 'townee' behind me in their car. They weren't gunning their engine, but they certainly didn't like being behind me.

A relative of mine made excuses for the recent bunch of multiple traffic tickets they received courtesy of traffic cameras' located outside of the town. They even complained about having to slow down.

People generally do whatever they think they can get away with. Cops pretty much do whatever they want because they know they are "immune" to being cited. Nothing new.
Ditto!!!
