The same way I looked up the rules for flying with cough syrup after being prescribed it while on vacation. And while you might like to give the benefit of the doubt, the court disagreed. Sometimes you get cut a break, but the technicality is the actual law. Just like sometimes the cop will give you a break for breaking a law when you're driving in an unfamiliar state. But really, they're well within their rights to give you a ticket.
You can bitch about it, but you aren't going to win a lawsuit.
