Me: Hey, Mr. police officer. That STOP sign is bent over and has been for two years. It looks like somebody decided it wasn't valid... they haven't replaced it.

Policeman: It sure does.

Me: So look, because the sign is broken, I'm just going to go through this intersection without stopping, OK?

Policeman: Yes. I've looked in the county records and there is no legal STOP sign at this intersection. You may definitely go through this intersection without stopping.

Me: (goes through intersection)

Policeman: You are under arrest.

Me: What?? But I went through a procedure where I asked you specifically about this sign!

Policeman: The fact that you asked is proof of your guilt. Also, sugarpop is "fairly convinced" you're guilty. Fairly is good enough for me. Off we go.

Arrest the police officer.
