Three years ago a Highway Patrol guy who was driving in the opposite direction caught me on radar doing 64 in a 55 zone. He only told me to slow down i.e. didn't cite me.
I asked my brother, a career cop, about it. He said the technology these days makes it a slam dunk.
My brother said speeding tickets in my state became outrageously expensive long ago. Since they can be more than a hardship for many decent people he decided two years before he retired he would not issue any kind of citation as long as people he stopped were respectful.
He had enough seniority so he was working daytime shifts at that time. He said the last 18 months on the job he never issues any kind of citation.
My late father, my mother, and I received one speeding ticket each in our entire lives. All three of us were ticketed on the same tiny stretch of the New York State Thruway traveling to or from my college in the early 1980s. For all I know it could have been the same cop each time.
