How fast was Tyreek Hill going when Miami police pulled him? Citation says about 60 mph

The officer who pulled over Tyreek Hill estimated that the Miami Dolphins wide receiver was going about 20 miles per hour over the speed limit en route to Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday, according to copies of the citations released Tuesday.
Hill was forcefully pulled out of his car by Miami-Dade police and handcuffed for about 15 minutes after rolling up his window during the traffic stop when an officer asked him to keep it rolled down. But he was not arrested and ultimately received two traffic citations, for careless driving and driving without a seat belt.
According to the citations, which were released by Miami-Dade police Tuesday, police estimated that Hill's McLaren 720S coupe was traveling about 60 mph before the stop. The speed limit in that stretch of road near Hard Rock Stadium is 40 mph.
The officer who pulled Hill over wrote in short-hand on the citations that he was speeding in an area that was heavy with both car and foot traffic − the combination of factors that likely resulted in the careless driving citation.
The 30-year-old Hill will owe about $300 in fines for the two tickets.

In addition to providing copies of the citations, the police department Tuesday also identified the officer who is being investigated for his role in the encounter with Hill: Danny Torres, who has been with the department for 27 years. Torres has been placed on administrative duties while the investigation continues.

"We will provide further information once it becomes available pending the outcome of the investigation," a Miami-Dade police spokesperson wrote in an email.
An attorney for Torres issued a statement earlier Tuesday requesting that he be reinstated immediately. Meanwhile, a number of critics – including Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus – have said they believe the officers involved in the traffic stop should be fired.
"That was horrendous how they treated him," Rosenhaus said in an appearance on "The Dan LeBatard Show with Stugotz" podcast. "They didn't treat him like a human being. There's no place for (those) police officers to be on the force."
Hill, who agreed to a restructured deal with the Dolphins worth $90 million earlier this year, wound up taking the field just hours after the encounter with police. He caught seven pases for 130 yards and a touchdown in a 20-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
