When a police officer uses a radar or laser device to clock your speed, it measures the speed of your vehicle directly, rather than relying on estimation. If the officer had to slow down and pull in behind you, they might have lost the initial speed reading, but they can still gauge your speed based on their own vehicle's speed and the relative distance. However, if they did not use a speed-measuring device during that time, they may be making an educated guess based on their observations. Ultimately, the accuracy of the speed assessment depends on whether a measurement device was employed during the observation.
