Cops speed because of a human beings natural tendancy to keep oneself's
own body safe. In other words, these cops that speed know that it is
safer to speed than it is to drive the speed limit. Unfortunately the
politicians choose to ignore this.

Personally I find it more frustrating when a cop drives 55 on the freeway
and the traffic all backs up 3 lanes wide behind the cop like some kind
of parade.
