I think if he was breaking the law he should get a ticket, too many high ups get away with stuff & us avg folks have to follow the rules.
But on the other hand , I don't think speeding in itself is a big deal.

There are much worse crimes than just driving fast.
{I'm thinking about empty highways & open roads only, not in traffic}
Speeding with recklessness, in heavy traffic, or with bad roads and bad weather conditions yes.
