That may be true for a speeding ticket, but the charges have more to do with operating an unregistered motor vehicle, ie: a golf cart capable of going over 20. I suppose a LEO could pull you over going 10 mph just to check how fast the cart is capable of going, but there might be probable cause issues. Since we don't live in a police state, I doubt this would ever happen. Which makes me question the story of the guy who had to go through misdemeanor charges in court for going 22. I suspect he was going 26+, otherwise he probably would not have caught the attention of the sheriff's deputy.
