I agree with you in the regard that there are plenty of pigs out there who will give tickets for going 1mph to 5mph over the limit or for some other situation where guilt can be reasonably disputed or disproven... but in the examples above, going 17mph over the limit... that is a clear cut case of meriting a ticket when a cop sees that.
“going 17mph over the limit... that is a clear cut case of meriting a ticket when a cop sees that.”
Not always the case. In my neighbor there is one spot that quickly goes from 55 MPH to 45 zone to 35 zone. A cop sits right at the beginning of the 35 zone and can ticket pretty much anybody he wants.
