I believe the Gendarmerie in France have a zero tolerance, and can fine you for doing 1 kph above the limit. Their word is pretty much final, and do not need to prove their findings.

However they do under record speeds to allow for a margin of error.

Importantly they fine you on the spot, and carry cuffs and guns.
