Quote from: GmoneyI know many friends here in TX that have gotten tickets for going 1MPH over the speed limit.When I was younger I was in the scouts "explorer" group attached to the State Patrol. If someone were ticketed for going 1 mph over the limit it would be thrown out merely on a "profiling" charge. The main question asked of the officer would be, "how many people to you stop, let alone ticket, for going 1 mph over the speed limit?" If he said all of them then he would be laughed out of the room (figuratively) but if he said very few then they would tag him for profiling and the ticket would be thrown out. Now if the person was also hit with posession or DWI or the like then that's a different issue. Cops really need to watch themselves when they pull someone over to make sure that it's something that will stand up in court.
I got hit for doing 74 in a 60 over in Issaquah WA in the car pool lane and only got a warning. I was polite to the officer and had a sticker on my window "vets vote Bush"
