I don't think that the cops can give you a ticket just because it looks like you were going fast.
Just my opinion...

Don't shoot the messenger, But in California, if the officer has been trained in speed estimation. They can give you a speeding ticket without the use of a laser or radar based only on their speed estimation. If they have used one, They legally do not have to show you the laser, radar or the certifications at the traffic stop.
In Court, the officer would be required to show you his training certificates and certification of any equipment he used.
