You can say that about every ticket, but there is a greater reason for it. It is much more dangerous to be going 100 mph than 45 miles and hour, right? Getting a ticket at 100 mph should bear a greater penalty than a 45 mph ticket even if they are both the same amount over the posted limit. Lawsuits by people who don't want to be penalized for speeding excessively is laughable. You are putting other people in danger. Speeding greatly increases the chance of an accident, and also greatly increases the chance of fatality.
As for the tazing, he failed to comply with a lawful order and the officer had every reason to feel in danger. There is a longer video to this. This one is cut. He asked the guy several times to place his hands behind is back, and he refuses.
