To clarify, you are asking if it is ok for the police to make a u-turn to pull over someone?
The short answer is, yes.
Your second question, is if there is a discrepancy between actual and reported speeds by a patrolman who was moving when they verified your speed, right?
If so, and the speed was captured by radar in the opposite direction, then again the answer is your speed can be verified while moving and in the opposite direction.
Laser is not used while moving and you can't pace an oncoming vehicle, only estimate (read: guess) the speed.
Does this help?
What (code) were you charged with (exactly)
