It is protection from cops that hide and will give tickets for anything over (there are some places like that).
Ignorant? They won't ticket you if you don't break the law, why else would someone buy it if they have nothing to worry about? The protection you speak of is the protection to break the law, but it's okay because the cops are mean and sneaky? No, here's what's ignorant, it's denying people don't go 50 miles over the limit with these things, because someone just admitted they did here in this thread, and I personally know people who do get that sense of security, and go as fast as they please.

That entire statement is one giant non-sequiter, and what's worse you go on to say disagreement equals ignorance!
