Most officers who write traffic for a living will probably go 6 MPH over the speed limit (Highway Patrol for example). As a rule here in So Cal, we have a saying - Most self-respecting coppers will not write anything under 12 mph over the limit. Just a guideline for us local coppers who are not traffic cars or motor officers.
And for those that will follow up with the next (usual) question: No, there is no quota. We can write as many as we want!  Last cite I wrote was to a guy in an Audi TT who passed me on the freeway (210 at Roxford for you So Cal guys). I was doing 75 in the black and white....he was doing 93 ( I gave him 5 MPH on the cite and only wrote him for 88 MPH.). The only reason I cited him was this: When I asked his passenger why he passed me so fast, the passenger threw the driver under the bus: He said the driver told him that since I was County and not CHP he could pass me at 110 MPH and there is nothing I could do.
We have another saying in Law Enforcement: We only catch the dumb ones. |
