My old man got ticketed for no warrant a couple of years back (it had failed immediately prior to going on a trip).
The failure was due to a rear tyre, which the old man thought had nothing wrong with it, and his mate who worked at a tyre co thought was perfectly safe and legal too. So he took it back to the same testing station, chucked it in the retest lane, and a different guy passed EXACTLY THE SAME tyre.
He wrote a letter to the cops explaining all this, and amazingly enough, got the fine waived.
