If I understand correctly, the ref ruled that his exhaust wasn't actually illegal. Therefore the ticket was not written for something that was against the law. Pulling someone over and writing a ticket for something that isn't against the law just because you don't like the way the car sounds is abuse of power. It's a lesser abuse than beating the shit out of him, to be sure, but an abuse regardless.
