I know that in Virginia they will pull you over for 2mph over especially in places where the limit is 45 or less. A few years ago we rented an RV and drove from NY to FL and I got pulled over 3 times in VA, twice for not starting to signal early enough for turns and once for 3mph over on a long downhill on a side road just off I95. I didn't get tickets for any of them because I had the whole family including the father in law and dog in there and it was obvious that I wasn't trying to do anything wrong but the one for 3 over really was a **** and threatened to arrest me for a variety of things including kidnapping and human trafficking. While he was running my license my wife called her best friend who's an officer up here and he called the dept down there and spoke with them, the guy came back to the RV and said that I must know God or something because he was told to let me go but that I should go slowly and watch my back.
