I think I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve seen a US cop pull someone over while going over the speed limit. Most of the time they are sitting in their cars doing fuckall. Other than getting overpaid to scroll on their phones of course.
It still amazes me when I see a huge pedestrian-annihilation-class pickup truck fly past a cop doing 90 mph in a 60 mph zone and absolutely nothing happens. I think to myself, surely they are going to get pulled over. That’s felony speeding.
Nope. That would require the cop to get off their ass and do something. The only time that happens in this country is when there’s a constitutionally protected protest happening or when someone with dark skin is in the vicinity.
Old wisdom says at any time you can drive 10% more than the limit and face no issues
Unless you’re black
