Seems like a disproportionate punishment and a big waste of taxpayer dollars.

Re: Don't Speed in Virginia!
There was a time in America that many of us remember when police officers enforced the law, using good judgment and common sense to ensure the safety the community. This sounds like and example of the new America, where the law is not enforces, imposed upon the community. Ok. I here you, and there are a lot of reasons why police do what they do nowadays. But that doesn't make it any less onerous or distasteful in the America I remember.

They don't enforce safety any longer. The mandate is to collect money. Money, money, money, money.sptcoupe wrote:There was a time in America that many of us remember when police officers enforced the law, using good judgment and common sense to ensure the safety the community.

Getting your license pulled is way different than getting three days in jail and a criminal arrest record.

You know there is one thing for speeding as going a few miles over, but going 40 over is way over the limit
