Maybe in WA. But not so in CA. There was an article in the AAA magazine years ago that explained how the CHP was specifically created to enforce the traffic code across the myriad of municipalities in our large state. I suppose one could define enforcing the speed limit as a safety issue. But in the OP's case and Craig's case, that likely wasn't the true motivating factor of the officer. OP got the 15 over ticket because he's an out-of-towner. Craig got it because the officer was itching to write him up for something/anything.
