NEVER been stopped by the SCHP when I was innocent. BTW,been over 45 years since I had a ticket. On side note,act like you have a little sense and you will have no problem. Case in point,4 years ago on the Harley SuperGlide-red and white with straight pipes-ticket bait,right. Left Belvedere passed thru Edgefield on way to Mauldin. Just couple miles north of Edgefield on US 25 noticed a silver Ford F 150 with camper shell behind me. Held speed between 60 and 65 all the way into Greenwood,cept twice when pushed up to 70+ to pass tractor trailers,and the pick up sat there 100 feet behind the whole way. Stopped at red light on 25 and Greenwood by pass ,when it pulled up beside ,tooted the horn. Looked over and saw the SCHP decal on fender. He smiled and gave me a thumps up and pointed to my personalized tag. HD-USA.

The #2 at the SCHP rose through the ranks by writing the largest number of tickets so it’s ingrained in the culture
That’s a funding source for them (and the same for sheriff’s offices that have real estate with interstates). It’s never going to stop.
The State Highway Patrol is tax funded, not ticket funded. You easily find that in the State Statutes.
