Sometimes you just can’t win.
A Valencia County woman who was pulled over for driving too slow said state police went too far.
Jeanette Sedillo said was driving on Reinken Road in Belen, N.M., after 10 p.m. Wednesday when a state police officer pulled beside her and told her to get off the road.
Sedillo pulled into a parking lot, questioning what she did wrong.Apparently, going too fast was not the problem: the officer wrote her a ticket for driving 6 mph under the speed limit.”
He said, ‘You were going 34 in a 40,’” said Sedillo.
The citation said she violated the statute for minimum speed. Now, she has to pay a $70 fine for what she thought was careful driving.

Go to fast and you get a ticket, go to slow and you get a ticket. Since your speedometer and a police radar run are not perfectly calibrated or calibrated to each other, this means if you drive you get a ticket unless the gang that wears blue are merciful enough to use “discretion”.
She must’ve got in the way of his donut break.
This proves most of all, IT HAS NEVER BEEN, NOR WILL IT EVER BE about safety. When seconds count, the police are just minutes away.
It is only about $$$REVENUE$, like the Revenuers after the rum-runners back in the day, this is just the way for the state to pick off the innocent, drive WAY UP their insurance rates, because a ticket is still a ticket. It goes on your MVR.
Never talk to the police. The only words out of your mouth when pulled over should be, I will not speak until after I have consulted with my attorney.
