Acknowledged. If I received such a ticket I would sign the form the officer gave me and then immediately protest (appeal) the ticket and go to court. In particular, giving a ticket for 1mph over the limit doesn't make sense because the marginal danger (IE, how much more dangerous it is) to drive 1 mph over the limit is tiny, it's 10-15 mph that is dangerous. The police actually have to make a case justifying the value of spending the time of stopping you.
I just looked into the details. In my state, CA, 1-15mph over the limit is specially treated, with one point that eventually gets cleared.
I'm amused because (as I mentioned) I live in a school zone and I just drove home at about 5mph, because the streets were so croweded that anything faster would have been impossible. A cop could not have parked in any location near my house because every spot was taken, and all sightlines were blocked by SUVs or buses.
