Nah. Cops writing tickets don’t that leeway. If they aren’t 100% certain of an infraction like this, they shouldn’t be stopping the driver. His doubling down after being shown proof establishes that he is willing to lie.

People can be “100% certain” of things that never happened; it happens all the time.

Yes, but in court, cops are given the assumption of higher accuracy. So they logically should be held to a higher standard.
