All of you that are saying the fine is too high, and that it is a cash-cow, have just solidified yourself in my eyes as being anti-police. I would think that after a nice 600 some dollar fine gets handed to you by the police, you will think twice about what you did. It doesn't take much effort to slow down until you pass the police car. It's about safety, and in my mind, respect. They're out there doing a dangerous job, and they deserve a little room on the roads.
This law doesn't just stop at police officers either. You must slow down to 60 if the limit is above 60 when you pass tow truck drivers, and construction zones as well.
