it actually makes pretty good sense for them to do this. hell, just circulating the rumor makes sense from their viewpoint, as for at least a week people will be doing the speed limit. a month is a long time, i don't doubt they could drum up 9 mil in tickets in that amount of time.

there are certain spots in the state that draw the anal-retentives out of the woodwork - and they're the ones that write for 5 miles over. hell, 5 miles over could be a slight change in tire size, speedometer needs recalibrating, etc. most cops know this and know the difference between 5 over and 15 over (in fines, court costs and points) and would rather go after the big fish.

i wish for once we could get a straight answer out of a cop about tickets: when they write them, when they'll pull someone over, ticket quotas (i believe they exist, but they swear up and down that they don't), etc. if i was a cop, i would rather jack an out-of-stater that has no respect for our roads and is doing 85 in a 65 that bust the balls of a local for 5 over the limit. but that's just me...
