Is it possible that both of you were speeding?

If you were following your boyfriend and speeding, the officer has every right to stop you. Sadly, some speeders get away, and some don't. I guess you were the unlucky one.

You got the ticket. If you were behind him, you must have been speeding too to keep up. You can fight it if you think you can convince a judge you didn't violate the law.

If you were following your boyfriend and speeding at that time you are in violation of the speeding law and subject to a ticket.

Were you following behind him? Then you probably were speeding also? If so you also could get a ticket.

It is your ticket, the fact that you boyfriend got away is irrelevant.

Hire a lawyer to go to court, or else it will be he said she said between you and the cop, and guess who the Judge is going to believe.

If the ticket was in your name, you are responsible unless you prove other wise.

Even if they could not catch him, if you were speeding, you can get a ticket.
