You think. There was an infamous case in Hungary where someone was cited for allegedly going 260 kmh in downtown Budapest. In an old Ford Transit van. While reversing.

The police simply refused to entertain the idea that someone knocked the camera and it made a bad read.

They had to close off the street and demonstrate that the van couldn't get to 260 in reverse.

The most memorable thing of the whole case was the head of the police saying with a straight face "Hungarian traffic laws are not enforced according to the laws of physics", as part of the prosecution argument.

It sounds like they won the case, did they not?

Only because the victim had a lawyer friend who worked pro bono, and it still took years.
