To an extent you're missing the point of the ticket. Aside from his other behavior, the cop actually did the right thing here. He knew you were speed but could not actually measure your speed, thus wrote you an "unsafe speed" ticket. He doesn't have to prove any particular speed, only that in his professional and trained opinion you were speeding. Now, how he would "prove" this without admitting to speeding himself I don't know. Her might just fib and say he saw you coming up behind him fast while he was going the limit, which you can't really argue with. From practical standpoint, your best bet is to go to the initial hearing and get the charge reduced. An actual trial could be interesting and fun though, just not particularly likely to get you off.
