History and attitude should have a large part in the decision process. If the attitude is to admit they were speeding and not make up some lame ass excuss or try argue, to me that means a ticket may not be nessesary. If they want to argue and be shitheads and/or have a driver history, obviuosly a warning is not gonna make them understand that they need to slow down, so let contribute to the state funds.

In my mind some people need to be given a cite to slow them down, others a warning may suffice, sometimes I think I can get a read on the person I stopped as soon as I tell them the reason for the stop based on thier reaction and sometimes I can't.

The only time I write every stop is on a speed shift.
