Most likely yes. I am not familiar with Florida law and don't know if there is some unique prohibition against wrting a speeding ticket if in front of the speeding car. You have to check the laws there. It probably is allowed for the reason that a speeding ticket can be issued whenever the police can accurately guage your speed. Sometimes it is done with a radar gun but sometimes it is done by the police driving at a speed that keeps your two cars the same distance apart for a certain period of time. If the police car is going 80 mph and the distance between your cars stays the same, then you are doing 80 mph as well. If the speed limit is 65, your'e nailed and probably with a more accurate result than with a radar gun.
