You dont need to crowd fund anything, I have a lawyer (Barrister) who handles business matters for me. Despite not being a traffic lawyer, he's still incredibly smart, and he's done a bit of digging just on the side for me and says there is nothing in his opinion that gives the cops any right to tell you to go to a particular DIF. His main defense to his position was actually that the AI (authorized inspectors) can freely move within to any other DIF and start working there and doing inspections. The problem he said, is that just like the cell phone case, someone needs to take it to supreme court in order to make a ruling against the cops, and then they can't do that anymore. Until then, there isn't a legal precedence and essentially the cops can continue to interpret however they like. The other option is to convince a lawmaker to clarify the law itself.
The problem with that second point is that lawmakers are stupid by nature, dumb civil servants that fail to realize how things will shake out. AKA zero foresight into how their actions impact the citizens. Typical shit public sector plebs. Again using the cell phone case as an example:
"Part of the reason people make errors is that the general description in the law leaves a lot of room for interpretation, which, officials say, was done to cut down on distraction-caused accidents."

That's how dumb these people are. "we left it vague so that we could enforce bullshit". How fucking retarded is that.

If anyone has a legitimate question they want answered by a lawyer feel free to ask or PM me, like I said not a traffic lawyer, but he's smart.
