This is SOP in many areas, especially rural areas in the south. They ticket people out of state for all kinds of bogus reasons because they know you'll pay the fine instead of showing up for court. My suggestion would be to go to court if at all possible - you'll probably win since they have the burden of proof and they'll need camera footage from the police car to prove that you were tailgating.
