You don't have to lie. Actually you don't have to say a thing, except to show up and say "prove your allegation." It's up to the State to
prove that it IS over 8' feet tall. My point is that likely the State did (and does) a sloppy job with enforcement. It may be a small point, but it's part of the corpus of the section, and one that's incumbent upon
them to prove for the case to move forward.
Granted, if they have the make and model of van, perhaps merely a brochure listing its height would be sufficient. Or, as I said, a measurement and a photo... but they have to present
some kind of corroborating evidence proving the allegation; and it'd be pretty unlikely that would happen.
