I didn’t say that’s what you told the cop, I meant if you actually went to court with this and say you weren’t going 84 because you had your cruise at 75, you’d still be screwed. Know what I mean?
Was the Civic pulling away from you the entire time? If the Civic was getting lasered and at the same time, you were even with the Civic (no one pulling away or catching up), then the cop would most likely assume you were going the same speed and figured since he tagged the other guy at 84, he can get you too.
