You'll see that the mileage is "recommended" and that exceptions can be granted.

If you assume that a number of these officers, especially those on third shift, are cruising through neighborhoods and business districts looking for anything out of the ordinary, that's a low threshold to hit. Heck, if you are traveling 25 MPH, that's only 2 hours out of 8 and you are are done. Granted they stop, take breaks, make traffic stops, etc..., but it still seems low to me.
