Cool So, I got pulled over for lane sharing, again

This time on the freeway! Ok so to start, I was heading home going my usual ridiculous speed lane splitting past cars. I pass a car that looks like a regular car but when I get next to it, I can see its a cop car, but with no lights or siren. Obviously I'm going over the speed limit and he could technically pull me over for speeding so I slow down without passing him. I wasn't sure if he would be able to pull me over since he didn't have any sirens, but I decided I wouldn't give him the chance and took an alternate freeway route home.

This time I'm heading down 101 and moved over to the right lanes so I could get onto another junction. As I'm heading toward the junction I see flashing lights behind me and I thought it was an ambulance so I move to the right but he's still following me so I figured it must be a cop (seemed like a cop van or SUV, but I'm not sure). I stop he comes up asks for my license registration and insurance. He asked if I had seen him and I said no (I didn't split past this guy, not sure how or where he saw me) He then tells me he saw me speeding and lane splitting (though he doesn't have a radar gun so can't prove I'm speeding???) Anyway, he tells me the maximum legal speed limit to lane split is 35mph (is this true? Isn't it just not even on the books?) He told me he could give me a citation for a moving violation for illegally passing (think I could beat that in court?) but says that he won't give me a citation. Yippee.
