In the end, the job of the police is to protect the public. Giving a ticket to a driver going 1 or 2 mph over the limit is not protecting anyone. Those drivers are not endangering anyone.
Most judges will toss out cases where a driver is cited for going 5 mph or less over the limit. They will often reprimand the officer for wasting the court's time.

With all of the talk about lack of police presence on Morse near the scene of the accident, I'm so surprised to now see folks complaining that they are there doing their job. DONT SPEED, then you don't have to worry about it.
I do not think the police are giving out tickets for going 1 or 2 over......seriously!! And I don't think they are out "harassing" anyone either.
