I would be curious as to;

1. Where you heard this.
2. Whether it is just some LEO's personal opinion.
3. Any documentation that NY police, even most of them, think or apply the same.

And is that for ANY posted speed, or just the interstates/freeways/toll roads...or say speeds above +-60 mph?

To sum up this entire thread, the OP felt that a ticket for going "only 6 mph" over a very low posted speed limit...was somehow unfair.

By most of the responses, I don't think the hoped for empathy emerged.
