Caught by highway patrol?

I was driving on a freeway, just come out of a 100km/hr zone into an 80km/hr zone and was still doing 95 (I wasn't concentrating on my speedo and was just driving with the traffic). Came to the crest of a hill and saw a highway patrol 250m ahead in the left lane (I was in the centre lane) at the bottom of the hill. I slammed on the brakes and slowed down to 65km/hr as I passed him (I was so flustered). Would he have nabbed me?

I would have slowed down to the speed limit about 200m away from him. Are the actual cameras this accurate? Or can he take my speed with the radar then casually take a photo as I drive past him even if i'm not speeding when he takes the photo?

I wasn't doing anything silly or dangerous and now I think i'm going to really pay for it.

Sounds like you need to go to court and fight it. However, Highway Patrols seem to always win in court. Slamming on your breaks was the worst thing you could have done. It shows you know you are going too fast. Si in that case, I would just pay the fine and go on and learn to NOT slam on the breaks every time you see a statie.
