Don't get your hopes up too much.
A few years ago, one of my friends was sent a summons for doing 65mph in a 30 limit. He was driving a double decker bus with a top speed of 40mph but the courts/police/solicitors were not interested in getting things checked out.
In the end the case was quietly dropped but he was still ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£300 out of pocket in barrister fees.

The courts just want to process the fines quickly to get them out of the way so that they can make lots of money.

If it does happen that the brown stuff hits the rotating object it will be interesting to see the BS that will emanate from the police/government/courts in justifying the use of faulty equipment.
