I mentioned this before but I took my family back to KC for the holidays in December 2019 and because we made it a last minute decision, we drove 1,650 miles each way.
I took the Southern Route (Cali, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas) on the way there and saw exactly two Highway Patrolmen. On the way home, I (stupidly!) took the Northern route (Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Cali) and saw 17 Highway Patrolmen in Kansas alone.
I saw one in Colorado and one in Utah after that and of course, none on California freeways.
And for me, 75 MPH on those interstates was plenty fast enough. I didn't even speed because not only was it not necessary, I was driving a black SUV with California plates, so I was already conspicuous enough to the police.
