See... right there, you admitted fault, and he's got you.
The conversation should have gone something like this (especially if you're an asshole like me):
Officer swaggers up: Do you know how fast you were going? Me, calmly: Yes. Officer replies: How fast were you going, then? Me, still calmly: Do you really expect me to answer that question? Officer: Yes, I do. Me: Heh, too bad. And I should note now that I will be contesting any ticket you write. I will not answer any further questions.
