My understanding is that they were established by time from toll booth to toll booth. Hard to find the wiggle room in that.
I'm betting there's a TON of wiggle room. Given the all the money making schemes the state of Florida has to pay for its debt, fleecing drivers by calculating their speed from toll to toll wouldnt be too shabby an idea for revenue generation, unless their is some inherent flaw with the idea, such as duplicate passes, delayed uploading of information, operator error, equipment malfuctions.
I have no doubt that some of these officers were recklessly speeding, but when you consider that the average "unsanctioned" speeding breaks down to 2.4 per day, it's kinda hard to lump all the instances as being without cause.
This wouldn't happen if all LEOs had to ride horses or bicycles.

There could well be a significant corruption problem that needs ended, but it would also suggest that anyone travelling over 40mph would be showing calculated speeds over the speed limit.
This also reinforces the discrepancy since any time I am caught speeding it is without cause regardless of circumstances.

Buuuuuuuuut, "almost everyone" isn't immune to the penalties driving over the speed limit could entail...I'm guessing that's why some people get mad when cops do it.
Personally, I don't mind one bit when a PO sets the pace.
Kind of ironic a person thats job is to enforce the law.....defending the breaking of the very same laws.
Doesnt cost the county, state, city any money(lawsuits) if I get into a wreck and am negligent....what happens when you do it?
Sorry but a cop is held to a hire standard, Especially when driving a police car. So the everyone speeds line is bs.
Another thing that makes me mad is the whole stay in the left lane thing. They do know that is illegal in indiana? Cop or civilian.
Other than cops that break laws, I love em.
So you just saw the thread title and independently concluded that it was yet another cop bashing thread? I hope your investigatory skills while at work, are much better than they are on INGO.
This thread is merely a news story, without any assignment of compunction on my part to relay any judgement upon the findings. If you're feeling butthurt for your brethren upon the blue line, then I suggest you take a long look in the mirror, because it wasn't me who did anything but place the story into a thread.

Does your mule like people laughin', or does he get the crazy idea they're laughin' at him?
Coming from you, it is a cop bashing thread. I don't need any investigatory skills to figure it out. There must not be enough hate on INGO lately to make you post a story from Florida.
As for feeling butthurt, I'll post a story lumping your LTCH-holding brethren into the same pile. Keep a lookout for it.
