You could lose your job.
You could get the car back with damage.
You could be put in a bad financial situation when forced to pay the exhorbitant fines and fees.
Only to have a judge say "sorry, our bad".

And again I ask, how is this any different than having your car impounded for being falling down drunk, or for it being a piece of shit, or any of a number of any reasons that cops have been allowed to tow your car for DECADES?
Here's how it's different: it's still cheaper. You don't have to worry about defending a criminal DUI charge. You don't have to put thousands into repairs before you're allowed to put it back on the road. You wait your seven days, you pay off the impound yard and the various fees, and you're on your way again.

But most of us take personal responsibility for our own actions, and don't want the gov't looking over our shoulders.

That's actually almost funny... you know the law, you know the consequences... if you get busted, will you take the personal responsibility for your own actions? Or will you come into RS whining about it, and try to blame it on the cop having a bad day?
If you know that 40-over is the line, and that cops so far are only concentrating on people doing 50-over... how hard is it to keep it to 30-over?
Have a little fucking self control. Take some personal responsibility for your own driving habits, instead of blaming it on the speed limits, or the flow of traffic.
