Same here. I don't want to give them the satisfaction. Nevertheless, it is annoying to drive 35 mph on a limited access highway that clearly supports 60 mph.

There are plenty of people willing to actually drive R1, which would be 60 mph, if there weren't any cars poking along at just under the speed limit, trying to avoid giving the cops their pretext for a highway robbery. Setting the limit too low makes the road less safe, because it increases the range of speeds at which the cars are moving.
It is small consolation to see literally half a dozen other cars pulled over on a 5 mile stretch of road-that-should-be-highway, because the town certainly could save money by firing at least three of their cops, and possibly the whole department. There's no excuse for that kind of official depredation. And yet, I don't live there, so I can't vote for them.
It is no sin to break the law when the law is turned against the people, but I am reluctant to pick fights that other people would have to join in order to win. I'd rather enact a boycott on that particular town's businesses--and any on the other side of them--until they clean up their own mess.
