There is defense I have heard of but cannot vouch for the authenticity
of with regard to being ticketed on the ground when you have been
"clocked" by an aircraft.
If the officer on the ground does not actually clock you, he/she cannot
sign the ticket, as it is heresay evidence. You inquire as to whether
the officer on the ground actually clock you, request to see the
radar/lidar readout. If they inform you that the airplane clocked you
and they did not, request that the pilot land to sign the ticket.
To counter this, the law enforcement officer who actually "witnessed"
the infraction may appear in person at the court hearing.
I have never taken the time to look up the applicable Ohio laws, so I
do not know if what I have posted is true.
