STOP!

So last week I was driving up to my in-laws and was lucky enough to be able to meet one of American Fork's fine Police Officers. I rolled past a stop sign.

Totally my fault, not trying to argue that point. It was as a T-intersection and I was turning right and was the only car in the intersection, but never the less, I choose to treat the sign more like a Yield than a Stop. Where my real complaint is - why are some traffic laws enforced and others totally ignored. After this friendly chat with the officer I tried to obey all traffic laws for the rest of that day. However, there are two sections of Interstate 15 where you are transitioning to the 215 that the speed limit drops to 50 MPH. If you actually slow down to 50 MPH you will however most likely be rear ended by cars still going 70+. This happens both getting on to 215 from the 15 and the again getting on I-15 from the 215. Is this ever monitored? And if not shouldn't it be, or at least reviewed to see if the 50 MPH really is what it should be marked as.

Other complaint - with everything being on computers these days why do I have to wait a week before I can call the police station to get information on my ticket, like cost and traffic school registration. I could understand a one day delay because they might need to sync things at night, but a whole week?!
