Since you're so big on reading comprehension, concentrate REAL hard on
trying to understand while I *repeat*:  it is possible for someone (not
you, apparently) to witness a violation without actually being within
one mile of it.  Suppose I changed lanes without signalling because
there was, literally, no one within a mile.  But you, 1.4 or 2.6
or whatever miles away, witnessed it and pulled me over for same.

"Around" != "within one mile."  Again, please TRY to think.  This 
isn't a courtroom, where your word is accepted as Truth no matter
how little sense it makes, or how little relation it has to actual
facts and events.  I know you're used to that, but if you try to
put aside your personal power trip for a minute, you might realize
that you can in fact be wrong about something now and again.
