These laws are often "wide-application" (not a real term, not a lawyer) when first written and leeway given to police - just like you don't get a ticket everytime you go 61mph on the freeway but it could give them powers outside this precise situation that could be used to arrest you or seize your car if they find it necessary - and then you have to argue in court, but they got you out of the street.
