Uhhh, they do. Cops do not give out just speeding tickets there buddy. Just yesterday I was driving home from BestBuy and this guy cuts in front of me without using his turn signal. Sure enough, an officer was right behind him and promptly pulled him over in front of me. Now that is protecting people. USE YOUR GODDAMN TURN SIGNALS!!!
Another note, when is it ever SAFE to go 200mph on a public road???
