I have heard about some tickets getting dismissed by judges for no brakes and then other judges only reducing the fine. So you should not be so sure; there are judges that do follow the law when a fixie can show they meet the stopping distance.
And since bicycles take more distance to stop than cars with proper brakes, do you believe cyclist should always be held responsible because they cannot stop as quickly?
