Legal Question in Traffic Law in New York

I got pulled over near Plattsburgh, NY. The police officer claims he used a laser gun on me and on the car behind me to stop us fo speeding - and that he clicked me at 83Mph. Well, he could not have known my speed as he claims because I had a laser jammer in the car, which went off when the officer shot me with the laser gun. Would it be a good enough defense to avoid getting a ticket?
