Traffic Ticket Advice UPDATED: CASE DISMISSED/ NOT GUILTY

What would you advise on this situation. You are driving down the interstate doing the speed limit when a state trooper zips past you doing in excess of 90 MPH without their lights on. You had passed this trooper a few miles back bc they had pulled another vehicle over.

As they are passing, you begin recording the trooper speeding with your cell phone, verifying the high rate of speed with your own speedometer.

You do not match speeds with the trooper, only record the traffic violation. Then a few miles down the road, traffic begins to back up and you catch up to the same trooper.

As you move into the left lane to pass an 18 wheeler, you get roughly 2 to 3 car lengths behind the trooper as you both pass the slower traffic.

At which point, the trooper turns on lights and initiates a traffic stop, claiming you were following too close.

You believe that the trooper saw you recording and that was the primary reason the initating the stop and not the distance between vehicles when passing.

You also have a passenger in your car that witnessed it and believes you were not too close and that you were a safe and prudent distance from the trooper.

Do you fight it in court or just pay the fine and move on?
