(b) For moving violations involving unlawful speed, the fines are as follows:
For speed exceeding the limit by:
Fine:
1-5 mph..........Warning
6-9 mph..........$25
10-14 mph..........$100
15-19 mph..........$150
20-29 mph..........$175
30 mph and above..........$250

Exceed the posted limit by 5 MPH or less in Florida you can only get a warning. Maybe there is a city ordinance that allows local PD to write for less than 5?

Unless there is another reason to stop the vehicle then going 5 MPH over seems a safe bet.
