I'm sorry that I don't agree. I think someone might have complained that people were exceeding the speed limit and the officer was there to give only warnings. You said, "The officer was very nice and respectful and just gave me a warning". My understanding is that a warning will not cost you anything unless one is caught in another moving violation within one year, (in the Northeast). Then the person will automatically get a ticket no matter what the circumstances.

I have gotten a couple of warnings in my 50 years of driving and managed to survive them despite my bruised feelings. Obviously, I was wrong in one situation and the other was bogus but that is a long story.

IMHO - I would not put an extra burden on myself trying to fight city hall. I found it better for me to be more careful as it doesn't stess me out.
