It's well known is some jurisdictions law enforcement is encouraged to write citations due to political pressure and for increase in funding. I can find a thousand articles with lawsuits and cases referring to something similar to quotas but called performance standards or the like. If they truly cared about law enforcement they wouldn't write so many easy to beat tickets in court and judges wouldn't allow police officers to suggest in court that the points be dropped and fines be instated instead.

138 mph in a 65. Dropped to 95 ticket was ~$180. Around 8 am on a Sunday morning not a soul in sight aside from the cop hanging out on a hill completely out of sight. 2nd was 89 in a 65 which was completely unintentional. Didn't realize until I caught up with traffic that I was going over the locally accepted 80 and that was too late.

In NY that 138 would have gotten your license revoked on the spot with your car towed and you left scrounging for a ride from wherever you are. 40mph over is automatic immediate revocation. I got a 91 in a 55 a few years back and the trooper actually looked it up because he wanted to take my license away and ruin my world, he even told me so.

I can completely understand harsh moving violations in densely populated states. I really got lucky with this police officer too. That was my 2nd ticket ever and my record was completely clean at the time. He actually told me he's going to call the boss and ask if my car needs towed or what not but he just came back with the 95 ticket and said chill out. Was a good learning experience heh.

The driver is not ticketed, just the poor slob who owns the car. Akin to 30 km over in Ontario, virtually convicted and punished at the side of the road by the cop, without a trial in court. The end of civil freedom in Kanada will be complete in October when legislation will be introduced to end reasonable and probable grounds prior to search and allow cops RANDOM physical body assault of drivers at the roadside. |

Broke my 10 years of no accidents or tickets last summer when I first had the car.
Clocked doing 109km/h in a 60 zone. I was being silly and knew that the speed limit went up to freeway speeds just over the hill so I started ripping it a bit too early... Was pretty embarrassed, and was also informed by the officer that 40km/h in my province is grounds for impounding my vehicle for a week with a hefty "excessive speed" fine. Luckily he had some mercy on me when I explained I was from out of town on a work trip (I was a ferry ride and 3 hour drive from home) and had a clean record before, so I just got a regular ticket and 3 points on my license. Speeding isn't worth it. |

People blow past me all the time, weaving through traffic and generally acting like fools. No cops in sight.
Then I go out to Texas for work and get pulled over in a rental car on a straight, empty rural highway for going 65 in a 60. The trooper actually said, "Our radar is calibrated within 2 miles per hour, so you were basically going 3 over. That's still a ticket." Then he came back with a warning instead. I think he was just bored out patrolling the boonies and wanted to mess with somebody. |

I got a ticket for doing 69 in a 65. A rebellious 4 mph over during clear daylight, no traffic on a 24 mile long bridge.
I also run with scissors. |

All of these tickets for just a few mph over are really disturbing. I've always considered 3-5 over like actually not speeding. It sucks to hear that tickets are being issued for such minor amounts.

I sometimes wonder what the rest of the story that we are not being told is when somebody get's a ticket for a couple of miles over. Of course everybody says they were perfect gentlemen when pulled over and that the cop was always a total jerk but maybe, just maybe...
