In the US, what are the different ways the police tags a speeder? Here are the ones I am aware of:

1) Radar gun
2) Pacing (cop follows you and gauges your speed)
3) Aircraft

Anything else? If there are any that are specific only to certain states, specify.

 

Speed camera.

 

Laser.

 

Visual estimation (needs certification, though).

 

Is that the one where they have a camera inside a vehicle and takes a snapshot of you? You then get the ticket in the mail... Is that only in certain states? Laser or radar?

 

Sometimes mounted in an inconspicuous vehicle, sometimes a box on the side of the road.

I've heard they're considering making red light cameras dual-purpose in some areas to also check speeds. So potentially if you gas it to make it through a light you could get a red light and speeding ticket all in one.
