Six over the limit on US-80 cost me $450 in 2013. I was driving to Oregon to work fire season. It was a big multi-agency speed trap between Selma and Demopolis. On my way home six months later, in the exact same location, was another multi-agency speed trap.

It was my first moving violation in 50 years of driving. Cop was a Viet veteran. No slack.
