Way back when, I got stopped by a radar car who was on another stop as I passed them. He claimed that even though he hadn't laser tagged me, he spent enough time watching cars he could tell I was going over. Some of these cars do nothing but assigned traffic details. They get to know an approximation, and they can tell the speeds in their assigned wards or jurisdictions. It becomes their job.
I didn't get a ticket, but thats not the point. The point is yes...at least in this state, a visual estimation is as good as any other.
