Assuming he didn't make the speeding part up,  I'm just wondering if this is the right case for this.

I don't know the answer to that.  I assume they can say they're going to write a lesser ticket and change their mind before its given to the driver. 

Clearly he was wrong to give her a speeding ticket for giving him the finger.  There's probably another law he could say she broke doing that.

But the basic concept of they can't decided you get another ticket for something else just because you exercised your 1A rights is interesting.
