It's an enhancement, or so they said, but a lot of people don't like it. And I feel like a jerk enforcing it but, hey, this way I'm a jerk to everyone. No favors, no waivers. The speed limit sign is plainly posted so you knew what the rules are and, you know, rules are rules."
I'm not really sure what point you think you're making here but it's not a good one, discrectionary enforcement is one of the primary ways police systematically abuse oppressed groups
