You'd be amazed at the number of link spammers that issue tracking and wikistyle sites attract. Signup raises the bar (they will register and link spam); and then makes it simpler to find all instances of defacement if it occurs.

Don't blame google; blame the link spammers.

There is also frequently a connection to drug use, thus the fact that the vehicle was speeding is automatically sufficient cause to search a vehicle for drugs, even if only to add the potential for DWI charges.

Nope.

The controlling legal authority is the Fourth/Fourteenth Amendment, mandating freedom from unreasonable search. This is best viewed in the light of Katz v. United States, in which the Nine Worthies declared that searches into any area required justification, when a person had a reasonable expectation of privacy.

Your car isn't the same as your home, with the same protection. It is, however, more private than not. A search by a police officer may not require a warrant, but it does require some sort of legal justification, such as probable cause (facts and circumstances which would lead a reasonable officer to believe that evidence of a crime is present)

Speeding is evidence of speeding. It could possibly be evidence of drug/alcohol impairment, depending upon what else is going on. It could be a piece of circumstantial evidence for any number of things. It does not, however, automatically justify a search.

And I never charge DUI/DUID off of a vehicle search. I charge DUI/DUID off of my observations of the driver's manual dexterity and ability to focus and concentrate, and my observations of the vehicle in motion, and the alcohol/drug test justified by said observations. The mere presence of drugs does not imply the consumption of said drugs strongly enough to charge DUI, absent other evidence.

Many people make lots of money just doing debt management. It's like a big complicated mathematical game, and often having debt and moving debt correctly can yield bigger returns than managing assets. I'm sure lots of smart people decided when and why to pay off their debt.

or jelly!
