ELI5: How do taxi drivers seem to circumvent driving laws? (Speed, cellphone use)

At least from what I've seen, the only taxi going the speed limit is one that has a fare.

Also I know in the modern world of cell phone apps, using a smartphone to locate potential customers conflicts with my cities "zero tolerance cellphone use" laws, and driving at night I often see cab drivers with one or two mounted cellphones, and sometimes one in hand.

How are taxi drivers not easy pickings for cops?

They don't, but they're better at getting away with it than most. Imagine if you were driving similar routes every day for hours. You would quickly learn where cops tend to be, where traffic tends to pile up, and other similar aspects. Taxis are just more familiar with their environment and know what they can get away with.
