Why the emphasis. Are they just trying to be politically correct.? Just my .02 worth.

You're making a very bad argument here.
Lots of things are illegal. Speeding is one of which we are probably all guilty. But what's the penalty? Is it accidentially a lower penalty than driving while drunk? Or could that be intentional?
You get popped for speeding, and in most cases, you're on your way with a ticket that you can simply mail to the proper court.
Let's say that your neighbor sees you pass him at a high speed on the highway, and calls the cops. Will they come to your house and give you a ticket? I don't think so.
Let's say that you do improper conversions on air-conditioners on the side, and you neighbor notices, gets irate at the traffic, and calls the EPA. Will they come to your house and give you a ticket? They'll come to your house, but the ticket is something like 25 grand, and your nosy neighbor gets a cut.
Do you see the difference?
