I was speaking hypothetically, in response to earlier commentary. It's clear from your clarification (particularly about the refunded bail money) that you couldn't be accused of that. Even so, that wouldn't necessarily prevent you being arrested and charged with the offense, even though it wouldn't stick in court. If you'd been less polite and respectful in the assertion of your rights, that might have been the exact outcome.
