There are other factors that can affect the accuracy of GPS; for example, receivers tend to be significantly less accurate in a CBD with lots of tall buildings. I've also seen receivers with an error before, eg. one that consistently reported itself as being 150m south of where it really was.
But I agree that by far the more significant problem would be deliberate alterations to the data. It doesn't seem like it would be particularly hard to do so...
At which point you're entering the realms of perjury, and probably several flavours of fraud, contempt, and other things that judges tend to dislike.
You're probably better off just paying the ticket.
Agreed, I'm not suggesting it's a particularly compelling option to deliberately falsify data for a court, but it could affect whether or not the court can consider GPS data to be sufficiently accurate - ie. even if the data is legitimate, how can the court know that's the case?
