Gooose, I think you assume incorrectly about the justice system. The judge does not necessarily read the law and interpret it as gospel. If he did that, we wouldn't need a judge. The guy in the robe is supposed to listen to the evidence and make a decision based on that evidence. If you present the governing bodies opinion as evidence, you should get consideration for it.

Case precedents don't just appear out of thin air, they are set by the very process one is involved with when someone gets a ticket and has his case heard by a judge.

They may not win anyway, because maybe he is a snagging SOB and deserve the $500 ticket. But for the normal Joe that is wrongly accused, a respectful and factual defense can definitely result in dismissal. Alot depends on your manners and your presentation.
