    Read the article ffs

    they are required to provide a statutory declaration naming the person they believe was driving, or alternatively giving as much information as possible about the location of the vehicle and who had access.

    Police told Ngakyunkwokka: “If you don’t do the stat dec [statutory declaration] and name a person, you can be charged”. He was not told that he had to complete the statement even if he could not nominate the driver.

    The police lied to him about what he needed to do. He acted on the advice they gave him.

    Your hypothetical is both irrelevant and not correct, based on the information in the article that you refuse to actually read.

    You are not smarter or more knowledgeable in the law than a district court judge.
