I had the same thing happen to me in Manitoba. I was speeding along, following a beat up old pickup truck down a deserted road way the heck out in the country. The only other car in sight for (literally) 25 miles was an RCMP officer coming the other way. The cop did a U-turn and pulled me over. She wrote me a ticket with no speed on it.

I paid the ticket as I lived in Ontario at the time and it wasn't bad enough to earn demerit points, but in hindsight there was no possible way for her to have clocked me - I was following the pick-up truck. I'm pretty sure she picked me because a) the truck was old, dirty, beat-up, had local plates and was driven by a very local-looking farmer in a cowboy hat, and b) I was wearing a suit, driving a Mustang, and talking on my cell phone like a good city slicker. No way she could have clocked my car, but she saw us going way too fast and decided to write me a ticket any how. Perhaps the same thing is true for you...?
