US hwy 64 W leaving Chama

I’m not sure of your definition of a speed trap but I consider this as wrong. As I was leaving Chama, NM on US 64 I noticed the sheriff’s deputy had someone pulled over westbound just out of town. My reaction was to look down at my speedometer to verify I was not exceeding the 50 mph posted speed limit. I was not. I was travelling 50 mph. At the same time the deputy turned around and headed back my direction. As he reached me he turned on his lights. I knew I was not speeding so I assumed I had a headlight out or something. The deputy claimed he clocked me at 62 mph. I was told by someone else that the deputy knew I would not make the 11 hour drive back to Chama to contest the $78 ticket and they were right. It is just the principle.
