I was asked every time if I knew how fast I was going. In all three cases I didn't know. And I told the LEOs that. I told them I wasn't paying attention and added the line: "I guess if your gonna play you have to pay". All resorted in warnings!
If you admit you know that you were breaking the law, you will be ticketed. That's why they ask you.
I got ticketed in Cody Wyoming for going 48 in a 35; it was 0130 hrs., winter, not another car on the 5 lane road and dry and beautiful. I was livid. The Chamber of Commerce told me that they receive loads of complaints about their cops and their ticketing policies.
