Did you consider not pulling over? You would have been well off
in the distance by the time the cop got in his car -- and there
would have been a good chance that he wouldn't have even bothered
chasing you if the other guy had pulled over. And if there
was any question in court, you could say you didn't see him, or
thought he was signalling to the car which was actually
in line of sight with his radar.

Where I live, the cop isn't allowed to just record your
licence plate and then mail the ticket, he has to pull you over
or get photographic evidence. (Is that also true where you live?)
