I also observed this with my friends as well. Like we are going by car and a friend is driving 50km/h though there was a 100km/h sign few hundred metres ago. When asking him he responds: "nah google maps says its 50 and I'd rather trust google maps than signs"

I do this as well.

Modern police radar is mostly automated and probably gets speed information from the same place Google Maps does. Cops simply don't care, it's just "speed gun says ticket" and while your friend would have beaten it in court, they still would have been forced go to court in the first place.
