I disagree with Mr. McCormick. Some of the traffic court judges downtown are dog lovers. You never know.

"Unsafe speed" can mean you were going either too fast or too slow. 15 mph would be dangerously slow under some circumstances, even on a residential street. There might be circumstances under which it would even be too fast. Without knowing more about the facts, I can't say whether it was unsafe when you were pulled over.
