realy doubt it's rich people that was the source.
Up here whenever the city starts whining about funds, it's a sure bet that they will start pulling people over for anything and everything.
There's a couple spots in Grand Rapids where speed limits change drastically for no real reason, half a block before a couple intersections the SL drops by 10mph, and picks up again right after it, the ONLY time you see peple getting tickets in that area is when the city is whining about funds, then they have a dozen cars in that area.
If it was a normal ride that uses that route on a regular basis, it could be that it was noticed earlier and used as a revenue source.
Don't get me wrong, I have no use for most police officers, for the most part they are just collection agents with no more capacity for original thought than an ant out collecting food for the hive.
