After the tracks, I pass the guy by moving into the left fast lane. I then pass him and then move back into the right slow lane. I begin accelarting, going maybe 2-3 miles over the limit. Next thing I know I see a blazer sheriff in my mirror pulling me over.
I do have a radar dectector on my dash, which did not go off, so I knew i was not speeding. The cop came up and told me he needed to see my stuff, and I simply and politely asked how fast I was going. He said after flubbering for a second "Well I don't know but you were going faster than me. Plus I see you have a radar detector so I know you were speeding and I can get you for an improper lane change." I just handed him my stuff and he gave me those two tickets. I go to court soon on a not-guilty plea.
Any ideas on how to defend this? Shold I simply tell the judge what happened and that's be it?

If you're not speeding due to fact that your radar didn't went off, you can use that as a proof. If the police officer gave you a vague reasons why he pulled you over, just simply tell the judge that the police officer isn't being straightforwarded about it. He was simply filling out his qouta and preys on the weak. Dipshit.
