I mean, if he didnt catch me with the radar, there is no proof i was going that fast right? Is there anything i can do about this? I checked the dmv website, and for my state, New Mexico, it says if you get 12 points in a year they might revoke your license, and im a used car salesman, so i need my license for my job. Anyone with legal experience please help! Thanks in advance.
P.S. i love my camaro. I want to be able to drive it legaly!

You don't need radar to know that someone was going vastly in excess of the speed limit. First, there is lidar which is like radar but uses laser light instead of radio waves. They can also time you as you travel a known distance (from say a highway sign to an overpass). Distance divided by time = speed. Or they can gauge you with their own speedometer. If they know they're going 65, and you fly past them you
must have been going much faster than 65. Similarly, they could use the speed of traffic as a rough guide to know you were going grossly in excess of the limit. This can only give an approximation, but its still enough to give them a reason to pull you over.
So there are plenty of ways that they can know you were going over the limit without the use of radar, some of which are completely undetectable.
