Or, instead of letting a "crime" skate by, he could let the judge decide whether it's illegal or not.

  I don't think it was a matter of whether or not it was a crime per se, but that if it did fall afoul of the "monitor in view" law then it meant that there was a potential danger in its continued use. It's not difficult to infer that the officer initially intended to issue a warning to the woman about wearing Glass while driving, and that she argued the point saying it was not illegal. Her argument definitely would've signaled her intent to continue driving while wearing Glass, which the officer would have construed as a potential safety risk. The officer really had no choice in the matter at that point, I'd say.

    There are a whole host of allowed monitor uses in cars, not the least that entire occupations are exempt from the law. From what I've read, the officer did not attempt to gather any information along those lines once they were challenged, they just decided to show her who's boss.
