Take a lawyer.
Take a lawyer.
There is a clear defence under (c)
(3)It is a defence for the accused to prove—(a)that he had no reason to believe that there was any person within hearing or sight who was likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress, or
(b)that he was inside a dwelling and had no reason to believe that the words or behaviour used, or the writing, sign or other visible representation displayed, would be heard or seen by a person outside that or any other dwelling, or
(c)that his conduct was reasonable.
But you’d need someone with legal expertise to demonstrate that.

5 Even Essex manage to have a option to state the time on the camera is wrong; the time as per the reported offence is correct.
Most years I forget to change the clock by the 1 hour BST/GMT – are they seriously saying this would ‘undermine’ the case ?
And how accurate does the clock have to be ?

There is legislation to ban
There is legislation to ban for any offence
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2020/17/section/163
CPS : The order provides both an additional punishment and a preventive measure. However, there must be sufficient reason for the disqualification. The following are examples of cases in which such orders have been imposed:
Cliff [2004] EWCA Crim 3139 – the offender had admitted that before committing affray he had driven a car whilst affected by drink or drugs or both.
Bye [2005] EWCA Crim 1230 – disqualification for 12 months in conjunction with a prison sentence of 8 months was upheld where the offender got out of their car and attacked another motorist.
Waring [2005] EWCA Crim 1080 – disqualification for 18 months in conjunction with a prison sentence of 4 months for escape from lawful custody was upheld. The offender had been stopped by the police, provided a positive breath test but, in the process of being taken to the police station, had jumped from the police car and escaped. He thereby avoided a secondary breath test and any possibility of being prosecuted for driving with excess alcohol.
Sofekun [2008] EWCA Crim 2035 – disqualification upheld where the offender had cannabis concealed within the bonnet of their car in small bags ready for supply.Certainly fits the Bye [2005] example.
