They usually will, but they told me that they have actually ticketed people for going 1 mile over if the driver had a sh**** attitude. Now this was not in Florida.
Police officers in Florida can stop you for doing up to 5 mph over the limit and check your drivers license, registration and insurance but not issue a ticket for exceeding the speed limit.
