Not necessarily. I've gone through 35 states in the last 2 years driving 7,8,9 mph over and never been pulled over for speeding once. This includes South Carolina (which I happen to drive to at least 4 times a week).

A little difference here. Speeding is a law already in effect. They are just upping the ante on fines. Owning a gun (at least in GA) is not against the law. I see where you were headed with that, though. Again, it's not your money so why worry about what someone else is spending their money on if they get caught speeding?

The public tag line however, is the the troopers are "better trained"....which is true, but you see what I'm getting at. Sort of doing the right thing for the wrong reason.
Yes, I knew that. I didn't state that "rule" as a matter of fact. It was a general one. Technically they can. Just the high majority don't worry about it. Later, QD.
