One missing piece of the scenario you suggest: The defendant (or his attorney) is free to introduce previous court decisions for the judge's consideration. Previous decisions carry a lot of weight and if a judge in a future case rules differently, he's pretty much guaranteed that the case will go to appeal and he's likely to be overturned. Judges hate to be overturned by a higher court. And they will usually pay attention to a reasonable defense presented in a calm and professional manner.
Again, I think that ham's should acquire a printed copy of the judges decision in this case and a copy of the newspaper article announcing the verdict. If presented in a reasonable manner to a police officer, he might not write the ticket. If the ticket gets written anyway, it will still be more meaningful to the judge down the line.
And Dave is really right on about the "broadcast" word. Read back about the early days of two way radio, and the term "broadcast" is used a lot more often than "transmit." Back then broadcast meant transmit.
Maybe it's different in New York, but district court cases are not considered precedent. A case has to go to an appellate level court for a written decision to be issued, at which point the case will become precedent. Although it might only be precedent within that country and would only be considered persuasive in other counties. Decisions at the district court are generally not written, so someone would have to request a transcript to find what the judge said. The found that in this particular case, the officer erred in writing a ticket. Which does not mean that another judge would find the same way.
Also, remember that appeals are based on errors of law, not findings of the facts of the case. If someone wants to appeal a district level case to a higher court, they have to specify what error of law the judge made.
Someone might be motivated to pay the thousands of dollars in legal fees an appeal would entail, but most people won't.
