Got a BS speeding ticket in Mass...

What exactly does "clocked" mean in cop terms?
We have four different options on the speeding ticket, lidar, clocked, radar, estimated. Mine is checked clocked only.
I'm assuming it means to follow a car and note the speed from the speedometer and to make more than one measurement at some time/distance interval to be accurate.
The cop had 2 tenths of a mile to "clock" me and claims I was doing 58 MPH.
That means he had 2 seconds to catch up, slow down/match my speed, and then "clock" me.
A BS ticket in my opinion. He was pissed that I came off the off ramp at 40+ MPH (speed limit is 40). He sped up to catch up to me and "clocked" me at his top speed before slowing down and following me onto a side street.
Please spare me the "just pay up and slow down" slogan. I've been clean for 6 years now and this onramp/offramp is my only fun now!
If the cop said 50 MPH, I might of just paid the ticket but this is just way out there.
