It's as if kinetic energy doesn't matter.


Maybe they have a rule that commercial drivers have to be pulled over by honest to god cops. Setting the threshold to 100 keeps them from sorting through files they don't need and can't use.

A 100 MPH threshold seems a bit much for trucks. Commercial trucks should be ticketed just like any other speeding vehicle on the road.

Guess those punks should have stolen a semi truck.

I'm not too far from Denver, and I didn't know we still had speeding ticket cameras.

One point: Cops in/around Denver have automatic license plate readers on their cars. They should have been caught.
Plus, traffic cameras, like the toll-road one mentioned in the article if you read it, can run the numbers they pick up. It means we have lazy police or something. They are brazen, must be young folks who don't understand the risk.

And, speeding that fast in a stolen car gets you stopped by the cops, maybe. Stupid

Exactly what I was thinking.

If it's a semi-truck, chances are they would get the trailer taqs, not the truck. It's probably nearly impossible to track down who was hooked up to that trailer at that time. So set it for an unlikely threshold to weed out the largely unresolvable incidents.
