Let me re-phase my reckless comment...

I am sure that a cop can give you a ticket because you look like you were going fast. They will just have a hell of a time convincing a judge that they were justified in writing you up.

A lawyer friend of mine told be that one of his clients was ticketed for speeding and they went to court. When he asked the patrolman on the stand how he determined his speed, the cop replied "Vascar" which is really just a speed calculated from the time it takes for the car to pass two reference points on the road. My friend then asked him what the two reference points were. The patrolman said "a sign post and the shadow that the bridge made on the road." My friend then asked the patrolman if he "was aware of the concept of the rotation of Earth." After the laughter in the courtroom died down, the judge dismissed the case.
