It's a federal law, and therefor it is a felony which can result in time in a federal prison.

Another View: (in the US) Actually it is a violation of state law, NOT federal law

AGREE: it is a state law violation. Normally this is considered a traffic criminal violation. What an officer may do with you when he pulls you over for this type of violation will depend upon several factors. This ranges from simply giving you a citation, for which a court appearance is required, to towing your car and confiscating the license plate and possibly take you to jail.

you don't get your liscense until your 16 and if your 16 or 17 then you wont have your learners permit anymore

Check the driving manual in your state. It should say what will happen. Some states will charge a fine. Some states will arrest you. Some will impound your car or make your parents come get you and the car. Some states will take away your learner's permit and not allow you to get it back until 18 or 21. You may get lucky and get out with a small fine, or you may have serious problems. Don't risk it.

The Government of Quebec uses the Bureau des Infractions et Amends (BIA) to process payment of fines and contesting tickets. If you would like to challenge a speeding ticket, you normally have 30 days to respond after receipt of the ticket.

If you reside outside of Quebec, you should note that provinces and states bordering Quebec have reciprocal agreements regarding the honouring of tickets and demerit points. Therefore, demerit points will be issued on your Ontario driver's license if you receive a ticket in Quebec and vice versa.

One should always confirm that a police radar gun was used and if it wasn't they should make sure the speedometer on the police car was recently calibrated.

If you do challenge the ticket, you should also take note that costs are added to the fine if you're convicted so it may be better to assess the value of the fine versus the costs of going to court.

Finally, one of the more often made mistakes of a motorist is to pay the fine before consulting a professional.

Probably because army officers are allowed when off duty, so police officers should be able to as well.

Added: As long as they don't do it in uniform, of course they can. They don't lose their civil rights simply because of their occupation. INTERESTINGLY - police officers are held to an even higher standard than the general public, because not only can they face the penalty of law if arrested for improper actions while intoxicated, most law enforcement agencies will discipline them or terminate their employment for "conduct unbecoming" as well.
