If I drive speeding past a cop, but didn't get a ticket, did I break the law? (lemmy.ml)

So really the question should be "if you are alleged to have been speeding, but some people are reporting that there is no evidence that you were speeding and some others are saying that source is biased - did you break the law?"

So youre suggesting that if someone says I wasn't speeding we should disregard the audio tape of me bragging about speeding?
