The problem is that taking that approach, noone would ever actually have been caught speeding, or drink driving, or so on, it would always have been a problem with the camera or testing equipment, or the police were out to get them, or someone had stolen their car.
If caught doing something stupid, people tend to either make up stories, or present only the portion of the facts that paints them in a good light.
As an extreme example, I'm guessing you don't actually believe there a lots of Nigerian princes out there having trouble getting to their million dollar bank accounts that need your help?
It is reasonable to approach peoples' stories with a certain amount of skepticism, and that level will depend on how cynical you are overall, I guess.
