AAG,
That is a new one on me. Each different jurisdiction has thier own way of doing things, from how they write the citation, which violation to write for, and different method they used to determine the speed (ie, radar, laser, aircraft). It could be that the officer used neither of these methods and just "paced" you with his car to get a speed. I myself would never write a ticket by doing this (too many variables). But, I might stop someone and give them a warning. I'm sure if you called the agency that wrote you the ticket they could expain it to you.

I am going to find out, because if he in fact paced me, the court should throw away the case as pacing its not very reliable and his speedo could have been wrong....Norfolk Police Department has some explaining to do.... I have never seen the PACE deal before.....

Well I was going about 40 to 45 MPH in a area that I thought it was 45 MPH as everybody and their mother goes 55 to 65 MPH. I never looked for the speed limits because the road is so busy that I try to keep a look out for everyone and avoid an accident as here in Norfolk most individuals cannot drive. I was in fact speeding because the limit was 35 MPH. He gave me a 50 on a 35. Which it could have been a 42 on a 35 if his speedo its not set up right. He used to be a PO for the University where I go and now he is with the City PD. The Cruisers for the University dont have Radar so that might be why he is used to pacing.
