A cop can just give you the speeding ticket anyway. It's almost guaranteed that the judge will side with the officer barring any concrete evidence to the contrary. Meanwhile the officer gets to show up to court and still get paid for it. Most times it won't even reach that point because you'll be offered a lesser fine if you don't contest the charge, which can be way less, and is worth it since you're almost definitely likely to lose.
