Mine, too. It seems to me like pulling someone over for a taillight violation, finding out the taillights actually work, but then prosecuting because the driver said "I checked them this morning" when she really checked them yesterday. That's carrying "lying to the authorities" a bit too far.
(Unless, I suppose, they can show that they had to spend a bunch of extra time or money investigating that they could have avoided had she come clean right away - but I don't really see that here.)
