Dig yourself a deeper hole, Worrier...
All your little snippets simply prove that the legislation is a crock of

If the State wants to penalize motorists for stuff they 'invent', they

time and the place the offence allegedly occurs using evidence obtained 
by those representatives AT THAT TIME AND PLACE.
