I can assure you, that while it says 70-75 on the signs in Cali, the speed is generally 80-95 lest one would obstruct traffic. Generally speaking, obstruction of traffic (driving too slow compared to the speed of surrounding motorists in this context) is much more against the law than going slightly over under most circumstances.
I have family in the CHP who have confirmed that dickheaded officers absolutely can and will do that as you are an obstruction to traffic if going too much slower than surrounding traffic.
They had some nasty things to say about people like that, but it happens
Who to trust: some rando on the Internet just insisting something is true or the people who work for the department that issues those tickets? Hard pick, honestly.
Wow, look at all these sources disagreeing with you! To be fair they were really hard to find_
If the rest of traffic is going over the speed limit then you are going slow and can be ticketed.
It's right there. In the links. Click them, read, learn.
Or, you know, keep insisting something that isn't true
