I am glad you availed yourself the facts of the matter and reclarified
your bull**** above with:

Well, in all honesty, it mostly is at the cop's

discretion,

It's more of an unwritten rule in Pa., that they

"give" you 5 MPH,

That's a far cry from you claiming it was a "requirement" the Pa. police
*give* you the extra speed of a few miles per hour. Nevertheless, you
illustrate once again you speak of things you know nothing of (the law)
and do not need Frank to make you reverse your earlier position. Since
you realized your error, there is no need to provide you with the Pa.
vehicle code. Flip-flop.

True to form, you show up to pick yet another bowl of nits. It is an
unwritten "requirement" in order to avoid the pain of fighting in
court. The courts have a history of throwing out speed citations for
small amounts, due to the potential for inaccuracies in both the car
speedometer and the speed measuring devices. The success rate for
having these fines "stick" increases greatly when the amounts exceed 5
MPH over.

I've gotten the same story from several different cops who work in
different precincts and the state police.
