Yes, he gratuitously chose to inform the court that a survey was on file. AND that it was less than five years old. AND that it was also 7-10 years old (or something!) Maybe he was just in a box-checking mood, eh? How's that old ditty go: one, two, three o'clock, four o'clock, CHECK, a-five, six, seven 'o clock, eight 'o clock, CHECK....
What else has he been gratuitously doing, hmm? Pre-underlining LIDAR on citations and even filling in the unit number, when he wasn't using it?
And it seems like he forgot to (pre-)fill "Speeding (Infraction)" in the description box, and was so concerned about it that he sent out a notice of correction! That hardly sounds like the sort of officer who would check off lidar, or wrongly check off a box that "ETS not required", on a whim. And while he was correctin', why not fix the radar/lidar/pv number box "mistake" too?
You can go on with your textual interpretations, but the context of the form clearly suggests that if box 3 is not checked, but box 4 and {box 5 or box 7} are, the speed trap laws apply. Unless, of course, there is some hitherto unknown VC section which requires that a valid ETS may be on file in the court, but then again, it may not!
