I've seen cops speeding everywhere I've driven.  Usually I assume there is
some particular work-related reason, but sometimes it is so obvious when 
you see them pull into the donut shop.

Then talking to them socially, they admit they speed because they can.

My favorite story was a bunch of Ferrari club owners (before the price runup,
it seems police were a bit over-represented there... hmmm....).  Cruisin' 
down the coast higway, cop pulls them over.  They all get out.  First one
shows his cop ID.  Second one shows his cop ID.  Third one shows his cop
ID.  Cop looks at my friend and says "I suppose you're a cop too."  Cop
let's them all go.  

My friend wasn't, BTW.
