If the detector didn't go off maybe he didn't have his radar on. I'm not an expert on this subject, so I may be off base here (anyone can correct me here), but I dont think he could write you a ticket citing his speedometer told him that you were going to fast. He probably needs that radar readout as evidence of your speeding.

Police can write a ticket if they match your speed. There are even some places where police are trained to "estimate" your speed and get you but I think that's pretty rare.

He probably just didn't have his radar on. He could have blasted you at any moment with the radar but he was probably being lazy.

They can write a ticket for following you anytime, but it will only stick if their speedo has been calibrated recently. I know a bunch of people that have gotten out of tickets through that loophole.

The speed estimation thing just irritates me. Only speeding ticket I ever got was an estimation ticket, he "estimated" me at 67 in a 60...it stuck in court due to being in a small town....

I heard from somebody that you can ask to see the radar readout to as proof of your speeding. If they can't produce it, then you may be able to get out of the ticket in court. I don't know how true that statement is...
