in a residential neighborhood (or in a 25MPH zone), 37 is 50% faster than any other traffic should be traveling. Their reaction time, and yours, is also reduced by 50%. By calling out the cops for issuing a ticket, you're saying it's cool if everyone runs through your neighborhood at 150% of the speed limit?

I didn't miss your anecdote about officers speeding every day with no penalty. I am not going to justify myself breaking a law because anyone else does, even if they are in a position of authority.  They are accountable, and you can take issue with their speed if you'd like. I know they speed, too. I'm choosing not to cast a stone, though. And if I ever get pulled for a speed violation, I am not going to contest the action using "but copper did it too!" as my defense.
