Default Can a Cop ticket me without pulling me over?

me and a Mazda 6 were speeding on the highway and i was in front. I saw the cop first and i hit the brake. Mazda came flying past me and hit the brake after he passed me. im pretty sure the cop got me over 80 MPH first but went to pull over the mazda instead. Im worried that the cop took me licnese plate number and gona mail me the ticket?

I dont have a front plate too so he might miss my car with laser. but im sure he got me first then the Mazda saved me. Ticket in the mail for me??

Its possible. In oklahoma we have millions of toll roads and if you run one thats not in a little backwoods town they mail you a ticket.

But the cop may not have had a radar thus did not clock you. He may have thought that you were going the speed limit or close to it and the Mazda was overtaking you.

I know its hard not to worry about it but what can you do? Its better to just forget about it if you get the ticket you get the ticket no sense in adding worry

when the cop pull up next to me, i thought he was waiting for me to go a lil ahead so he can get behind me and turn on his light. But i herd him floor it to catch up to the Mazda and turned on his light. those cop cars pack some power cause when he floored it, he almost spun out at 60 MPH

Around my hometown a couple cops had camaros. My father was either at a shop the cops use or a dealership who sells to them and he said the guy at this place showed him one of the cop camaros and told him it was alot more powerful than a z28. I didnt get any numbers though and this was maybe 5 years ago or more.

You'll know by Wednesday at the latest! I'm assuming he got you via radar and probably has your plate on his dash camera or he wrote it down.
