Isn't speeding a crime?

It is a crime however in GA and especially in the Atlanta area you have two choices unless of course you are stopped in a traffic jam. You can drive the speed limit and risk your life as everyone tries to run you over and swerves in front of you or drive 15 over in the slow lane and risk a ticket.
Regardless local cops don't belong on the interstate. They are not trained to operate there and create more problems then they solve. That's why you have a highway patrol.

Seems like this is the only place for reliable and quick answers to questions. Where do you volunteer for Short Call Reserve. I looked in PCS, but see nothing?

The only reason i didn't get a ticket was my wife's use of the waze app. Drivers ahead of us were plotting cops on the map. We just had to slow down as we approached!! I love this app!!!!!
+1,000,000 waze!

Then on the N'Side we have red light cameras ... Roswell has been caught repeatedly lowering the timing of the yellow light from what I believe was reported as 6 seconds prior to the installation of the ticketing device to around 2 seconds. Even the Governor got involved in trying to fix the issue.

They have found that if they shorten the yellow even two seconds revenue goes way up. The companies who install them often insist on shorter yellows since they pay for the entire installation in return for a steep chunk of the fines. Once the locals get trained they start slamming on their brakes at the first hint of a yellow and the accidents go up. Lots of people get rear ended. The cameras however are all about safety!
