Is what you're saying is the law musn't be appropriate to the circumstance, for example "properly fitting" because the law enforcement operatives aren't sufficiently trained to correctly enforce it?
And before anyone says that the police, quite understandably, can't be intimately aware of all the vaguaries of legal specifics, what we're discussing is something that officers administering traffic law, particularly traffic officers as presumably they would be those officers most called upon to do so,
really ought to know, it's as basic as knowing how much tread should be on a tyre, I'm sure that every officer could quote that without the necessity of radioing the station.
