well, law decrees that you have exactly one mile to decrease your speed after a speed limit sign.... so depending on the distance, you might be safe

this is not true at all, totally false. as soon as you get passed the sign the limit is enforced.

hmm, i was under the impression it was a pretty universal law, if it isnt, i would check it out automaggin2 maybe mango can offer some insite.

It is universal law that the speed limit for any stretch of road is effective exactly where the speed limit sign is posted, as was previously mentioned. Check your state's "Rules of the Road." I know Illinois's is available online.

Are you one of those people who thinks that stop signs that have a white border are different from those that don't?

Bah. That sticker thing doesn't help at all. I used to donate to the wives and children fund's and a bunch of other police stuff. But then a series of events took place that made me rethink my donations. Now when ever they call I explain to them why they're not getting my money.

In Florida, If a cop pulls you over and he is not in his town, yes he can make you sit there and but he cant give you a ticket or arrest you, he has to call one of the cops of the town you are in, but they never do, because they dont want to wait there for the other cop to come.

Thats not true. The only thing is you have to go to the jail in the county where you are taken into custody.

Were you giving the money to truly help the wives and children of police officers, or so that you could speed (or other things) and get away with it?

Nope wanted to help. Never even put the stickers on my car.

I was told the don't work when out of curiosity I asked a local officer about it, he said they don't do any good.
