I stand corrected.

Politicians are only half a step above child molesters on the food chain.

I thought they were a full step lower....

Sorry, but I don'tbuy the part that my doing 85 in a 55 and minding my own businessallows them to steal my bike.
What do you think would be appropriate for doin 85 on a public road? Fine? How about for a second, third offense? Just curious.

What's your point? Aren't there current laws on the books for speeding? Is this new?

If you're still doing 85, then the law isn't effective, right? What do you think would be effective? By the way, I agree that taking your bike is way too extreme. I'm not sure of all the speeding penalties . . I'm usually within 10 mph of the posted.

Not every law or suggested law is good. You seem to forget there are other laws to protect the right to own property and discrimination is illegal. you commented on the wrong point. The pointis not speeding, it is the law not being applied fairly. Everyone has the obligation in America to stop discrimination against any group. I would think MORALLY a LEO has this obligation ten fold.
You can't say lets arrest anyone on Saturday between noon and 3:00PM wearing white after labor day if they cross the street from north to south and live on the north-side of town. People only visiting the north-side of town are exempt.
They cant say its ok to drive a car but not a motorcycle. moving violations have to be fair and applied to everyone evenly.
I watched a show where the city of LA, CAwere crushing vehicles of all types. Every car had been forfeited because of street racing. The owners had to watch their car be crushed. they crushed all types of cars, pickup, and motorcycles.
If I offended you, you should ask why.

I guess the moral of the story is Don't Drive Like a Fuching Idiot, and you won't have to worry about it.

Some people will never understand that operating a vehicle above the posted limit is not by itself inherently dangerous or reckless. They may throw out names such as "moron" and "idiot" when all you are doing going faster than they are allowed.

If the citizens of Florida do not rise up against this it will be up to someone to become a test case in court.

I agree - but states with Absolute Speed limits (like Florida) will not give merit to your argument. In other states, where the speed limit is considered Prima Facie - they will hear your argument.

This was my point earlier, people get caught up in the "speed" factor. The problems I see every day on the road aren'tfrom speeders. It's from the a-holes that areweaving back and forth across 3 or 4 lanes and cutting people off. To me, this is text book reckless driving. Enforce the existinglawson this.Why not have more cops in unmarked cars patrolling the roads looking for this?
