Going 6 miles over the speed limit. Got a warning but the cop said between Dallas and El Paso is a drug highway so they sometimes pull people over going under the speed limit too just to check them out.

With speeding as in other states. A couple of years ago I was on I-20 heading East between Sweetwater and Abilene. I went over a slight hill and was on the downslope where the Poe-Poe got me. I didn't know why he pulled me over but he pulled me over for going 3 over the speed limit. I kindly asked him what the acceptable speed is and he stated the speed limit. He let me off with a warning and I'm not sure if it's because I was wearing my Army uniform and driving a government vehicle or if he just wanted to find someone else to pull over. I realize that he was pulling everyone over so that he could eventually find someone with a warrant, drugs, or other issues. After that incident I started using the WaZe app.

record for tickets during the '70's but since I got a disabled veteran's tag on my car the most I have gotten are warnings. Even had cops turn around to get me and then back off w/o pulling me over after seeing the tag.

Stopping a vehicle for 6 over on an Interstate in the absence of
no other suspicious activity is referred to as "chicken $&i!"
The rule of thumb is give 9-10 over then stop them.
Glad you just got a warning. Drive safe!

When I lived in Georgia, you got 7 mph. I got a ticket for a 62 in a 55 once and had to attend "defensive driving" class as I was under 18 at the time. I've since only gotten 1 ticket, and it was for 58 in a 55 while driving through the great state of Tennessee.

Like the OP said, they do this on all the major drug corridors. Down here, it's I-10. You see major drug busts down here off simple traffic stops.
