It varies state to state, but usually it's the ol' radar gun. In some places they use police helicopters and radar to check a vehicle's speed. Other states also use plain, unmarked cars to "pace" another car.

I received a speeding ticket at my home address in the UK via a car rental company in France. Does a UK resident have to pay for a speeding ticket picked up in France?

The owner of a car is responsible for the fines (parking, speeding, etc..) except when he provides the name of the driver - or of the person who rented the car. You can choose NOT to pay, and it is likely that there will be no further action. You will not hear of it unless you run across a French police check, in what case the police check into the national police computer will bring the case up.

Top speed for a crown Victoria police interceptor?

Top speed for a Crown Victoria police interceptor is 140MPH. This is not because it is all that the car is capable of, it's because it's governed by the vehicles computer and will stop accelerating once it hits the top speed listed on the speedometer of 140MPH. I sell police vehicles for a living. To check out my credibility look up my company on Google: Martel Autos or Martel's Police Vehicles.
