Damn, I figured the training wheels would have fell off going 60mph.

I drive through Georgiana quite often. Their cops do not fuck around. 30 mph means 29 mph, if'n you know what's good for you.

Same for Cottondale, Fla. on 231 headed your way out of Dothan. You hit town and the speed limit goes to 35. There WILL be a cop there and he WILL pop you for 36. Once all the roadside fruit stands dried up, I think speeding tix are the main source of revenue for the town.

Bitch you better watch your back, a nearsighted po-po and your sexy self might be headed to federal pound me in the ass prison.

Near-sighted, nothing. I have to beat them off.
Literally. They require handjobs before they'll let me leave town.

I've heard tales of places that write for 1 MPH over, but never seen anybody actually produce a ticket to prove it.

You can add Vernon, Florida to the list of places that will do that.

Never have seen one written, but was witness to someone getting pulled over for 37 in a 35 in Rogersville, AL.

Now, what I have actually seen and heard is people with tickets for 10-15 over claiming they were really stopped for going only 1 or 2 over, and the cop just lied. That's common. I've yet to EVER see ANYBODY produce a ticket written for anything less than 10 mph over. Never met a cop that would fess up to writing anyone for 1 mph over either.

I can guarantee you this happened as I was in the car. 37 in a 35 (school zone). We couldn't believe it and the cop proceeded to chew his ass telling him how he was endangering the lives of kids and how he was lucky that he didn't write him a ticket and that 35 meant 35. He is no longer employed with Rogersville along with several others. My wife (girlfriend at the time) got one for doing 61 in a 55. Her uncle was the mayor and had it fixed. He fired a couple of them and hired some new folks not long after he was elected. They were truly dicks and I tend to not say that about law enforcement as I have several friends in that line of work and they are all good people just doing their job.

Where I worked, the majority of the tickets were written in a 40 mph zone, and we were supposedly known for writing lots of tickets. When I was being trained, I wrote a guy (the first ticket I ever wrote) for going 55 in a 40. Afterwards, my training officer said "I'm not telling you you can't write them for that, but "our speed limit" through here is generally 60 before you get a ticket." After that, that was my "limit". 60 in a 40, 45 in a 30...basically 50% over the posted speed limit. In the neighborhoods, where it was 25, maybe the limit was 35, but I don't recall writing too many in the neighborhoods...we're weren't supposed to harass the locals. Although it was fun to get complaints from the locals about speeding, and them want "extra patrol". I can't tell you how many times I caught the complaining party speeding. Or, they'd invite you to sit in their driveway, and they point out cars coming that they'd say "they're flying!" only to be right at the speed limit when I showed them the radar.
Just had traffic court this morning. Didn't see a single ticket for anything less than 12 over. That's troopers and county deputies.
Maybe it's just the areas I've worked, but generally speaking, every cop I've ever known, or worked with would give you AT LEAST 10mph over.
JME, YMMV. I've written, defended, or prosecuted literally thousands of tickets in jurisdictions all over central AL, and have NEVER seen what you speak of. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, just that I've not seen it, ever. Not in Jefferson (including every municipality there), Shelby (including every municipality there), Cullman, Walker (and some municipalities) St. Clair, Blount, Autauga, Chilton, Bibb (and it's municipalities), Dallas, Perry, Tuscaloosa (County and City) Wilcox, or Hale counties, where I've either policed, defended, or prosecuted.

Little speedtraps like Cottondale are the exceptions that will do it. My pops got one there for 2 miles over. I got stopped for 3 miles over but got lucky and got a warning. It literally goes from 70/65 to 30 in about half a mile with no warning in Cottondale. It wasn't much of an issue back in the day around the 80's, even 90's when the fruitstands were still thriving there because you were slowing down anyway to stop at a couple of them. Like Snag said though, just about all of them are gone now so there is no reason to stop there or even slow down other than the speed limit signs. I think he's right in that ticketing is their main source of revenue now.

You could have been a smartass and said that you didn't know 2 mph was the difference between life and death. The kids would survive a 35 mpg car but not a 37 mph car? Got it.

BTDub....we always stop at the last stand on the left just as you head out of town. A bag of boiled peanuts, some alligator jerkey and a useless sharks tooth souvenire for the kid are a must for the trip.

I would have if the he'd had been lecturing me after issuing a ticket. Lecture (within reason), or ticket, but not both. And yes, I've stopped a cop and told him just that as he started to lecture me while handing me a ticket to sign.

I wasn't driving, but did often in that town, so I kept my mouth shut as my friend took the ass chewing. He didn't write him a ticket, just chewed his ass out real good. They were dicks then. Like I said, once they got a new mayor, he fired them and hired all new people. It was bad driving through there for a couple of years, now, not so much.
-
Just to add to the cautions and warnings, you better make damn sure you are abiding the speed limits going through Eufaula especially, ESPECIALLY, during travels seasons. If you have an out of town tag, BOOM!......they got that ass.

Best for the driver that the passengers stay quiet. That was smart. Honestly, though, I wouldn't have taken much lip over going 37 in a 35 if I'd been the driver.

According to that cop, 37 presents a death hazard but 35 will leave a kid scratch free.

Yes it is. Passengers smarting off can mean the difference between a warning and a ticket.

No, probably more about the power trip of being able to talk to adults like they're children getting that cop off.

Troof. It really doesn't help your case to ask the officer who is wearing knee high lace up boots if he is leaving there to go fishing.

Nor does it help when you have about talked your way out of a ticket (haven't even asked for you license, just telling you to slow down) to have your buddy, ask the policeman if he wanted a donut and hold up a box of them........ :facepalm:

Got some fast moving kids in your area. It's 20 (some places 15) here in Texas.
Maybe the kids here are slow. We did produce greg macldouche.

1. Speeding ticket? No. 4 hours in traffic court might be worse than being trapped in a car fire. Suspended/revoked? Different story.
2. Big black dicks? Also no. Small white lawyer penises are much easier to manage. Plus, you don't have to worry about he balls being in the way.

We had a quota, so I had to write them. I had a standing order with my prosecutor: "Don't fucking call me to testify, I don't give a shit what you do with it." And that was actually ok with the brass, because most people just pay them, and they didn't want to give me the comp time.

We don't all have wives that keep our nuts in their purse. I was awarded mine back in the divorce. Actually, come to think of it, I'm divorced because I never gave them up.
