Asked in Traffic Tickets for Utah

Q: Can I get a ticket based off a video taken by a random person?

I was speeding a little bit on a road through a neighborhood. My friends neighbor came over to his house and took pictures of our license plates. He told us to slow down and be safe. He didn’t say anything about the authorities or going to them, but I’m wondering if he did take a video that if he turned it into the authorities would they be able to give me a ticket based off a video? If you can’t really tell I’m speeding? I’m not even sure if he videoed it but he took pictures of my plates so it concerns me a little bit. im just wondering what the laws around it are
