Umm, sorry bud, im a native californian, and i don't think were getting the whole story here.
81 MPH on the freeway is not a big deal, most of the time, but it is cutting it close. Alot depends on WHERE you were speeding. If you were doing that in the number 2 or 3 lanes, that would single you out. Nevermind that most everyone who should be in the no 2 and 3 lanes is in the no 1 lane. As well all know, the rule of "slower traffic keep right" seems to be lost on people here, along with the lost art of merging onto a freeway. But thats beside the point, and quick lane changes (IE "weaving") will do it too, especially if your barely clearing bumpers by only a couple feet.
Your safe at 75. I've been driving here since i was 16 (36 now) and have never been stopped doing 75. However 80, or a single mile past 80 though and your pushing your luck. BTW, i hear most officers spend alot of their days off in court now days. Good luck dodging that ticket.
