How it usually works is that the aircraft clocks the driver- transmits the speeding vehicle's description to ground units (make, model, color, and speed)- the ground unit then attempts to clock the speeding vehicle, then they can issue a citation first hand, or if they are unable to prove violation of traffic laws themselves, the ground units either have citations set aside that are already signed by the pilot, or the pilot later files an affidavit and/or can testify if contested in court.
