I don't think that it's all that arbitrary. Let's face it...there's a
huge difference in driving Nebraska's long, straight stretch of I-80, with the next set of tail light literaly miles ahead, than say...oh, Pennsylvania's twisty windy assed stretch of the same I-80. Different conditions call for different speed limits.

See...I don't see it as a "bullshit" job. We, as a society,
need men and women who are thick skinned enough (thanks, fhqwhgads) to do this thankless, abuse generating, job. Without them, people are
going to drive 45 in a 25, which is the speed limit in a residential area, by the way. People are going to park in the fire lane at your local grocery store. If some cops are assholes, and there most certainly are some, then I submit that it's because they themselves are surrounded by nothing but the bottom of societys barrell, day in, and day out. You do that for a few years and see if you don't get a little jaded and disgusted with the world.
