Most locations have a law against bad driving. It's not exactly called that... it may be legally referred to as "careless and imprudent", for example... but it basically means that a police officer can give you a ticket for almost literally anything the officer considers to be bad driving.

You may be able to contest the ticket, in which case you're taking your chances that a judge and/or a jury will agree with you and not with the police officer, but in short: yes, a police officer can give you a ticket for not passing a semi.
