Reply to "Speeding Defense?"

I picked up a ticket yesterday, and am thinking about fighting it. I was at least 1 km from the cop, maybe more, when he zapped me with instant-on. The Valentine One went off and I slammed on the brakes, immediately bleeding off the 40 kph that I was over. I was convinced there was no way he could have gotten a reading on me from that distance. However, obviously I was wrong because he did pull me over and write me up. After he handed me the ticket, he asked if I have a radar detector. I answered "yes" and he said, "I thought so, because you slowed down quite a distance away." He could not have measured my (rapidly declining) speed for more than a second or two at a kilometer's distance.

Do I have a chance?
