I don't believe that anyone who really obeyed the speed laws would
agree that radar guns are unconstitutional or feel his privacy
invaded.  These laws exist for a purpose, and their enforcement helps
keep our roads somewhat safe.  I feel threatened when someone whizzes
by at 80 MPH and cuts in front of me; I *want* someone to be there to
catch these guys...

So what do speed limits have to do with your argument?  By your own statement,
the only way those people will not drive that way is if there is a policeman
right there with a radar gun.  What you are complaining about is "reckless 
driving," or "speed unsafe for driving conditions..."  There are already 
plenty of laws to cover that.

I always love a "legal" argument that rests on "well, you only stand up 
for the rights of _________ because you're one too..."  It seems so adult.
