You need to have your drivers license taken away. Cops openly brag about being able to pull people over whenever they want. They can do this because there are so many rules of the road, that it is literally impossible to drive without violating them.

So really, drop the bullshit "but it's illegal!!!" cope. You violate the law every time you get on the road. Traffic laws are written to be selectively enforced. You make it illegal to speed and then leave it to officer discretion.

Hell, I say we throw you in jail for life. If every law was enforced against everyone who violates them, then everyone would be in jail for life.

You've committed enough crimes to get yourself locked away for life. Perhaps you shouldn't appeal to the law so readily.

You raise a valid point about how our legal system can be used as a tool of oppression. However, in practice, the State Patrol here are generally pretty ethical, and they pull people over for speeding and reckless driving most of the time. Never for obeying the speed limit.
