What catches the trooper’s eye and gets you pulled over is doing all those lane changes if you want to be the fastest. That’s what is unsafe. Otherwise, they aren’t too concerned about the actual speed as long as the traffic is flowing smoothly.
This strongly depends on both the area and the individual officers. And sometimes your skin colour, unfortunately. Also the condition of your vehicle, like a new porsche might be allowed to get away with a higher speed than a rust-bucket (or, on the other hand, that new porsche might attract more attention and/or envy).
