Let's pretend it was you to make this easier to write.
When the cop pulled out and hung out behind the tractor trailer he was waiting to see if you were going to speed up even more or if you were going to slow down below 15over and then maybe cut you a break.
The minute he pulls out he had you dead to rights and was going to pull you over; what he was trying to determine was if you were getting a bigger ticket and not a smaller one.
The fact that you didn't slow down until he set up shop didn't help you should have slowed right down before he even caught up. That might have cut you a break for just being inattentive. It also negates the "it wasn't me" excuse, because by your own admission you were still speeding when he got behind you -- you should have been going slower to be able to say "you must've tagged the car behind me"
When he followed you before pulling you over he was running your plate. There is no statute of limitations km-wise for a ticket. If he has already nailed you on his radar he could have followed you for a half hour before pulling you over if he wanted to be a dick.
As for what to do, it depends on the situation. I always say fight every ticket; it's very seldom that they won't try to plea bargain.
