Has nothing to do with VIC. It's NSW and NSW only.
VIC couldn't give two shits about a NSW defect, and it wont be on any VIC register.
The NSW RTA need to write up something, you take it too the cop, he cancels it.
Or you simply challenge it in court, get the relevant info and send to the prosecutor prior and it'll never even see a court room.
Sadly that is how it is with Police when they dont know the laws they are meant to uphold.
You can't do much than follow the long winded channel.
You could also contact the officer first, explain he is in the wrong. If he doesn't listen then talk to his superior.
