I have found that presenting the statutes to the administrative minion tends to resolve the misunderstandings and errors made by the Barney Fifes. A person does need to fess up when they were in the wrong. I quite enjoy quoting the statutes to the cop while he is fishing for something else to try to catch me on. Then inquire if he really wants to waste the courts' time with his persistent flinging of noodles upon the wall. They get peeved, but do tuck tail and waddle back to the cruiser to turn off the lights and leave.
