There's always going to be a bad apple in every occupation. Those unfortunately, are the ones who generally make headlines
Rocket said you can't write a ticket for <5 over and he's absolutely correct
He also said that it's a mandatory warning. Again, he's 100% correct!
Just because the officer can't write the "ticket" doesn't mean that he/she can't make the stop
Make the stop, issue the warning and see what else you find while there
DL check, tag check, warrant check, maybe even a quick safety check while I have your attention....see where this can go?
But you can not get a "speeding" ticket for < than 5 mph over the posted limit!
Period.
...class dismissed...
