What’s the absolute lowest you’ve pulled someone over for?

What the absolute lowest over you’ve pulled someone for? Both school zone and non school zone?

Also, if you’re allowed to say, does your department have preferences that you shouldn’t pull someone over below a certain amount?

I will say, the lowest over I’ve seen someone else get pulled for was 6 over on the freeway. Ive never been pulled over myself.

    8 over, because the road was ice and we already had multiple wrecks that day

    2 mph. Driver had no license and a warrant.

    I’ve pulled over cars (usually drunks or Ubers) for stopping in travel lanes, so technically 0 MPH.

    I’ve stopped for 1 over, however those type of stops are pretextual. If I was doing traffic enforcement my minimum would be much higher.

    I drive a 66 VW bus, and it struggles to do 65 top speed. Always in the slow lane. I worry about getting hit from the rear, and not so much about getting pulled over.

    I stopped someone for reversing for approximately 200 after missing a turn. I bet they reached -15 mph.

    I’ve been in court where the trooper testified that she stop him for going 65 in a 65 zone…. It was POURING RAIN. She had gone to multiple crashes that morning where driving too fast on the rain, hydroplaning, was the cause. She cited him for going 65 in a 65 zone with a safe speed of 45mph.
    She won.

    Expired MVI or license plate light out. Take your pick.

    Ten under in a 40. Guy was a menace in town, didn’t think the slow-poke law was real. Expired registration & insurance, towed, put a hold on the vehicle until guy could produce valid paperwork. Every time I think about it I giggle.

    No front plate. Leads to warrants or narcotics

    When I was 19 I took a bunch of mushrooms and accidentally put my cars display into KPH instead of miles. Eventually got pulled over, explained the situation to the officer (minus the mushrooms) and he gave me a warning

    50 in a 60 for driving too fast. Middle of a bad snowstorm and a crap ton of wrecks on the highway. Normal traffic is going around 20-25. Guy goes blowing by everyone in an unplowed lane kicking up snow. He actually took the ticket to court and lost.
