Leadfooted Cops Fined!

I agree with that. I have been stuck behind LEO's doing the speed limit and was wondering what the traffic jam was from.

However, I think the national consensus is that most people drive 10 mph over the speed limit on the highway and not much more than that. I would have no problem with LEO's driving 10 mph over the speed limit. That would slow them down, but it would also slow down the guy behind me doing 100 mph when he comes upon the LEO. If the LEO is doing 100 mph the entire time in a 55 and he passes me, the guy behind me doing 95 mph in the 55 will never catch up to that LEO. What the government and law enforcement should do is raise the speed limit 10 mph and then tell everbody that it will be strictly enforced.

Personally, I think they should just put out a ton of speed cameras in Maryland like they have in DC. That will generate a ton of money and free up LEO's time to deal with other matters (e.g., traffic, violent crime). If you want to speed, you will have to pay the fine. Plus, I think the fines should be raised.

Driving around here is pretty tough.
