Help!!

I got nabbed for speeding today. Okay its not as bad as it sounds, I was doing 45 in a 35, but the cop claims I was doing 54. He didnt get me on radar thats just "how fast I had to go to catch up with you". So i was just wondering if anyone knows the law on this. I think this is total BS ut I would to hear what you guys have to say.

I dunno what your laws are but over here if they don't radar or laser you they have to follow you at your speed for a minimum time (10sec I think) to establish your actual speed. His "catch-up speed" idea sounds like BS to me.
