Summary: Idaho selectively tickets non-Idahoans

In reference to above-comments which indicate most states allow a 
certain number of miles per hour over the mit free of tickets.
  IDAHO highway patrol or state sheriffs (or even local cops)
love to selectively ticket non-Idaho cars.  I have personally
seen a California car ticketed for doing 56 in a 55 zone.
Their attitude is that it raises money, the "tourist" probably
won't be able to attend court, and all done under the guise
of upholding the law.  
  In the out of state 56 mph example there were cars ahead
far exceeding 60 mph with Idaho plates. Idaho cop u-turned
and pulled over Calif. car, ignoring Idaho cars.
