Sounds fishy to me. Not sure who is telling the whole truth. If you believe there was no probable cause to pull you over (i.e., your fiance was NOT driving earlier and thus could NEVER have been spotted) and you were not breaking any rules when the police officer (not "cop") pulled you over, then perhaps you may have a case to defeat it.
