Sometimes with bikes its a little different since it seems some cops arent fully aware of the laws governing bikes.

Cops aren't judges. They don't interpret the laws, they enforce them. 56 in a 55 is breaking the law so they SHOULD be giving you a ticket. Until now, they have been interpreting the speeding law(in your favor). Cops are not supposed to use "judgment". Their job is black and white. It's up to the judge to decide what you did is wrong. I know I'm giving a civics lesson.
