Cheating at the GeoRace???

I have been reading the logs for the 1st Annual Jackson Area GeoRace/Challenge by Bluff Boys (GC1TQBG) and it appears everyone had a good time. Prontopup of GOWT posted one of his photoblogs of the event on the GOWT forums that described some details of the event.

Something that struck me as odd after reading the accounts of the event:

Apparently yogi of Team Usual Suspects got a traffic ticket and was fined $575 dollars. His team subsequently came in second place in the georace.

The description text of the event states that all road and traffic rules apply and a violation may result in elimination.

Why wasn't Team Usual Suspects disqualified? Is it because they are all members of JAG? Is it because yogi is quite possibly a geocache reviewer for Tennessee? If a GOWT team had gotten the ticket, would they have been disqualified? Hmmm.....
