I see nothing wrong with the sheriff's slowing down a few wild folks. Nothing wrong with that. It is their job and I am so weary of them being maligned. I like cops.
Not at all, GG. Read my second line in post #4.

I just don't get all that excited when someone is driving faster than I or when I get passed. I do get annoyed when someone is driving quite slow, such as 55 in the left lane of an interstate, especially when they do it intentionally as a self appointed "speed cop".

Now, driving back from N. Carolina yesterday on I-95, there were two cars playing tag at about 95-100 mph. THEY should be caught and ticketed because traffic was moderate and they were weaving in and out and cutting other drivers off. Unfortunately, they passed right by a Georgia state trooper and he didn't even go after them.
