You all seem to be ignoring the fact that most people (most, not all) drive at least 5 mph over the speed limit. Most cops (most, not all) know this and usually aren't going to go and pull someone over for going with the flow of traffic (unless they're doing something else stupid that warrants it). So anyway I look at it, I'd definitely be a little ticked that a cop decided to single me out for going 1 lousy mile per hour over the speed limit.

And for those of you that say "doesn't matter, law is the law" - well, it's also a law that you use turning signals when changing lanes, making turns, etc. Yet I see tons of people not doing that, and once right in front of a cop... but not get pulled over for it. So clearly the cops can choose which laws have higher priority for enforcement.
