So why not post the speed limit at 70 and enforce it? And again, just so you know, I have been a staunch supporter of LEOs for most of my 63 years.
I have diverged from that opinion given contact with arrogant,irresponsible,immature and power hungry individuals in LE. And no, nothing personal. Still have never received a citation for anything.

Nothing here has persuaded me differently. I will continue doing the posted limit. If you are behind me on a 2 lane and want to go faster, you'll just have to wait your turn for a passing zone.

If, as you asserted above that most LEOs will ignore 10-15 above the posted, why have speed limits at all?

I ask because I remember the big drama here when the City of Port Townsend (Washington) wanted to lower the speed limit on the part of SR 20 that runs through town. Couldn't do it without permission from the State, and they STILL didn't get to bring it down as much as they wanted to.
Is it different in Florida?
They must as I doubt a traffic engineer would drop the speed in 20 mph chunks with signs very close together on a straight stretch of six lane road thru an uncongested area.

If you are indeed a LEO I have to ask the same question. Why do we have speed limits at all?
