There are places where police have been known to abuse ticketing for speeding. Estelline, Texas is one. Brookside, Alabama another. https://www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2024/08/05/i-was-cash-cow-i-georgia-cities-accused-using-police-revenue-generators/ https://www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2024/08/05/i-was-cash-cow-i... I know a section of 322 in PA was once so abused, that the local police lost jurisdiction and the State Police took over patrolling that strip.

Macks Creek, MO was locally famous: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macks_Creek,_Missouri https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macks_Creek,_Missouri They got 85% of the town’s revenue from speeding. There was a drop from 55 to 45 well away from anything where there was any obvious reason to slow down. If you were doing 46 when you passed that sign, you got a ticket.
