You've missed the point entirely. Proper speed limits means only stopping
those drivers who should be targeted for enforcement. Less stops mean
fewer chases. Same with picking people up at their homes if they have a
warrant instead of waiting for them to be pulled over. It's also better for
the people because then cops just can't pick and choose anyone to stop.
(either being in violation of the speed limit or driving unusually slow)

Driving to the letter law attracts police attention, especially on
friday and saturday nights.
