Sure it sounds terrible, but how many thousands of people every day will make up any excuse to try and get out of a ticket? Can you blame the police for the 0.0001% of legitimate reasons for speeding or whatever are called into question as just another line of BS?
Cops are people who work long hours at all hours of the day dealing with the dregs of society, only to be turned around and spat on for doing so. In that light, excuse me for not feeling particularly empathetic for the miniscule subset of mistakes made by police officers when trying to do their jobs.

"The fact is that the man broke the law" is nonsense. That's what judgment is for.
