I doubt that a police report written by law enforcement officers who were ruled to have misapplied the law will shed light on this incident.
Tickets and prosecutions get dropped for all sorts of reasons, sometimes because the accused is obviously not guilty of the charges, sometimes for other reasons too numerous to mention.

I have no objection to speculation when the speculators can recognize, or are even aware that, that is what they are doing.
