Before you argue about the police equipment, need to figure your own equipment out.
You may find out that although you "thought" you were going 70 MPH, you may have been going 80 MPH!
Then you need to figure out if the LEO clocked you with Laser, Radar, Pacing, Aerial. Once you know how the LEO clocked you, then you can try and discrete the method, calibration, licensing, training, etc.
The problem is you will likely start to loose the "Common Sense" theory. If your speedometer was slow by over 5 MPH, you should have had an idea at some point you were likely traveling faster than the bulk of the traffic on the highway.
Again, you can figure out how close you speedometer is by using a stand along GPS or a GPS Speedometer App for your smart phone to start with. I am now in the habit of benchmarking any car I drive to know if the speedometer is close or not.
