I have a hard time accepting the argument that LE is NOT frequently used for Revenue generation, especially Motorcycle Officers.

"To be clear, speeding tickets aren't just for lead foots: In some places, they'll ticket you for going one mile over the speed limit and others set the speed limits artificially low."

"In some places, the average speed limit is set 10 to 15 miles below the actual safe speed for conditions," Dornsife said. "It makes technical violators out of people otherwise driving safely."

In CA, the Basic Speed Law vaguely states that you must drive at a speed safe for the conditions; I've used that argument successfully a couple of times.

V C Section 22350 Basic Speed Law

Basic Speed Law

22350. No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property.
