If I was to take the argument in the direction you are, then I would add that the public has always requested the presence of LEO's....
It wasn't forced, it was requested.
So, when you're driving down the highway and suddenly notice a police car in your rear view mirror, are you more likely to be filled with the warm and fuzzies or to suddenly feel a little apprehensive?
If you have done nothing wrong why would it bother you. Only a guilty conscience would be bothered by IMHO. Hell, if they are going below the posted limit in good road conditions I will pass them where it is safe to do so. They ain't your enemy, they are just folks doing a job they are hired to do, kinda like teachers, firemen, EMS, Etc.
Exactly!
I look at the spedometer because I know I like to push the legal limits!
If I get caught, it's my fault, not theirs!
