In Miami last year, a law was passed prohibiting copy from pulling someon=
e=20
over and issuing a ticket if within 5mph above the posted speed limit. =20
Allegedly this eliminates/reduces the speedo-error argument.

Of course at 6mph above the limit, the ticket is for exactly that amount =
(no=20
5mph grace/error factor allowed).

Cheers,
