In suburban MD, that threshold speed has been publicly stated as 12 mph over the limit.

And since I've passed many DC camers at 9 mph over with no tickets, I suspect the DC threshold is similar - unless it is variable (which is why I would really appreciate your source).

9MPH threshold? You are lucky.

While we don't have cops with radar guns, we have loads of cameras in The Netherlands. Three tickets arrived in my mailbox Friday afternoon; two of them were for 6KPH over! Likely due to a new camera that's not yet been loaded on to my Garmin. In any event, not a huge deal since we don't have a point system here and the tickets are usually just 30-50 Euros. I guess the tickets are more of a "speed tax" than anything else...
