Every morning on my way to work there are 2-5 cops busting single riders in the car pool lane.

Those are the days of old, my friend. It used to be that Law enforcement and public safety where recession proof....but not anymore. Cuts to Police departments are being made all across the country.

Speeding fines (aka hurry taxes) will be a good source of income for governments. You can bet that police will be out writing tickets. They will be trying to offset their salary by bringing in income.
