You lie.

But I'm not actually breaking it, which is why I haven't gotten a ticket.

I'm proud to be so insulted by someone of your ilk, it's a compliment.

Of course not. liquidate is a crime.

It's so far-fetched it's in another dimension entirely. It's a well-known logical fallacy you commit.

Frustrated scofflaws are not "victims."

This fallaciously presumes that I have no right to impede their progress. I do. Every citizen has absolute and unbuttailable authority to impede the ability of criminals to perpetrate crimes. To maintain otherwise is to say that it's wrong to lock your front door because it might impede the burglar.

Unlawful driving is ipso facto not "safe" or "normal."

The flaw in your analogy is that while it is illegal to liquidate a prosbreastute for engaging in prosbreastution, it is perfectly legal, moral, ethical and acceptable to impede the ability of prosbreastutes to engage in prosbreastution. A cogent analogy would be if I were to take a video camera to an area known for prosbreastution and openly videotape and challenge both prosbreastutes and their customers, thereby impeding and obstructing their ability to commit the crime of prosbreastution and patronizing a prosbreastute. Refusing to accede to the rude and unlawful demands and expectations of scofflaw speeders is not analogous to liquidateing prosbreastutes because one objects to prosbreastution. Thus, your argument is specious.

Nor, by the way, is speeding a "victimless" crime. All too often the victims are brutally end by the scofflaw.

Who cares what the police approve of? Not me. They are public SERVANTS we hire to enforce the letter of the laws enacted by our elected representatives...and NOTHING more. Their personal opinions about those laws are of absolutely no interest to me, and they should, in fact, keep their yaps shut while they are representing the police department. It is NOT THEIR PLACE to comment upon, criticize, support, oppose or otherwise interfere or inject themselves into the political process of lawmaking as representatives of the police. Their ONLY place in the political debate is to provide neutral, factual, statistical information WHEN REQUESTED to lawmakers. They have no right or authority to opine about pending or enacted legislation.

Pot, kettle, black. Slow down, get in line, wait your turn. -- Regards, Scott Weiser
