It could go either way with this. The statement could be argued to make it less likely they issue the fine because they don't want to be seen to take down the LOTO or more likely because they don't want to have let that influence the decision. And so on.
As with the Met Police these people aren't thick. They know the consequences. I think the level of attention this case is getting makes it more likely rather than less IMO. After all, as with the Met Police and No 10, this case wouldn't have been taken if those accused were ordinary people.
