Possible. But often in the eyes of the law, an officers opinion can be enough to secure a conviction. Especially if there is another officer with the same opinion to back him up.
Works for excessive noise, excessive speed, dangerous/reckless driving etc, disorderly behaviour etc.
Sometimes they shouldnt be allowed an opinion though as many are dirty lying cunts.
