I really don’t think you’re referencing appeal to authority correctly here.
They’re not saying it’s logically objectively correct that people should go 65mph on a highway, due to the fact that authority has stated it thusly.
They’re simply saying that because the authority has made that law, the authority should enforce that law.
Now, they might be committing the Just World fallacy by complaining about the unequal treatment average drivers get versus immigrants.
There is some ground we can cover to discuss how to reasonably increase traffic law enforcement without just shutting it down with a poorly applied accusation of logical fallacy.
WRT speeding, I think automatic speed enforcement would be pretty simple. We already have automatic tolls and traffic cameras everywhere.
