playing devils advocate:
If you were a police officer who had to write an infringemnt notice to someone you know will be going back to another country before it is paid and needing to follow up in months time looking for the offender and wasting your time a resourses to come to what you know will be the case already...a dead end, do you want to put yourself to that extra work when you are already under the pump with your every day duties.
It would be 6 months + before it ever went to court or a summons to be issued and by that time he is long gone.
From that perspective it makes sense to me.
