Speeding Question.



The other day I was traveling Northbound on I-95 about two miles from the 
NY-CT border.  I was traveling about 72 and noticed a cop about a mile up 
the road.  Of the thousands of times I have been following cops, not one 
has ever pulled me over for gaining on him.  Well this one did.  When I 
was about 100 yards in back of him, he began to slow down as did I.  He 
slowed enought to the point where i passed him going 55.  He then got 
behind me and turned on his lights.  When he pulled me over he asked if I 
knew how fast I was going.  I said 62.  He said since he was going 67.  I 
must have been going faster.  The ticket says speeding 67 in a 55 using 
the pace method.  My question is this: How from 100 yards in back of him 
could he possibly paced me? Is there a legal definition and procedure to 
pacing someone?  Whats the strategy for fighting this in court? 

thanks in advance
Barry
