This is a question Amazing displays of ignorance

Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

Oh dear.
Either the policeman is ignorant of the fact that 80mph is faster than 70mph, or he knew full well that the story teller was lying, and in order to display this said "Are you sure? Because we had to do over eighty just to catch up with you." in order to be sarcastic.

Ignorant means "like iron".

How in the world could you imagine the policeman didn't know 80mph was faster than 70mph?
Of course it is, that was the point. He pulled the guy over for speeding. Which is to say, going faster than 70mph.

He was being (very poorly) sarcastic.
