I was drving home from work in the right lane of the freeway. when i noticed a police car following me. I started slowing down, and maintained a reasonable speed, but he stayed behind me. I started to get annoyed and finally switched into the middle lane. The Police car did the same but then passed me and went into the left lane. I was suspicious that the officer was trying to bait me to do something to cite me for so i decided to switch into the left lane and drive behind him thinking that was the best way to avoid him. I drove behind him for another mile or so before i realized that he had gradually sped up to around 15 miles over the speed limit and I in turn had been keeping pace with him and doing the same. I started to slow down, but he switched back to the middle lane slowed to get behind me and then pulled me over and issued me a speeding ticket.
My questions are:
1. Is this even legal for him to do?
2. Since i was behind him could he have accurately clocked my speed?
