Is a police officer’s testimony enough to prove a speeding charge?

The police officer’s testimony is evidence; as is their use of radar, speed matching, or LIDAR to check your speed.

How far should a police officer pace you while driving?

For an accurate “pace,” the officer must keep an equal distance between the patrol car and your car for the entire time of the pacing. The officer’s speedometer reading, after all, means nothing if the officer is driving faster than you are in an attempt to catch up.
