Because the interstate speed limit in Nebraska is 75mph

!!! So you mean it's possible that people can disagree about what the maximum speed one drives should be! I think this proves my point exactly, and only goes to show how ridiculous and arbitrary most speed limits are.
I have tried to continually point out that I'm sure there are some good cops out there. But there are also some scumbags. And when you give a group of people power over you I think it's best to a) limit the number of scumbags who have the power, and b) limit the power the scumbags have. Those laws you treasure that are so well-enforced by Joe Friday are peverted by others.

Police work is not a bullshit job. We pay these men a pittance to put thier lives on the line everyday, to do a job that I was no longer willing to do (yes, I was a cop...a long time ago)

I guess I should have been more clear, writing parking or speeding tickets is a bullshit job. Sure, enforcing laws against terrorism and murder are important jobs and I'm glad someone does them.
And again, please don't misunderstand me, I am not going to start a revolution. I recognize my limitations and see that I don't control the world. I'm not trying to encourage people to break the law by speeding. I'm just writing out my thoughts and feelings. We should all obey the law and do as we are told, there's no real alternative anyway. But it doesn't mean I have to like it.
