Threatened with a fine for NOT having fog lights on

[XRLENC]

I'd first like to state that I have a lot of respect for police officers and know they generally have good intentions, but this encounter had me fuming.

I was just pulled over on the way home from breakfast, for a regular breatho in a residential street, and the first thing the officer said was, "Why haven't you got your fog lights on?". Now I know its illegal to have them on when the conditions don't require them to be used, but not to have them off when the conditions do require them to be used. Or at least, the police officer believes the conditions do.
Anyway, I responded with "Because it's not foggy and I can see fine without them." Now the part that got me fired up was his response, "Maybe not here, but around Toolamba way it is. We could argue about this all day and I could still give you a fine, I'm just telling you for next time."

Firstly I'd like to note that Toolamba is 10kms in the opposite direction to where I was heading, so how that means I should have my fog lights on where I was located is beyond me.
Secondly, my one sentence responce was hardly arguing. Thirdly, it wasn't foggy.
And fourthly, IT WASN'T FOGGY!

I looked up on Vicroads website to see if there were any regulations that I wasn't aware of, that gives Police the right to inforce you to use your fog lights, but couldn't find anything, and so there shouldn't be. Especially considering a huge majority of cars on the road aren't even fitted with them. And another thing, aren't fog lights intended to give me more visibility, not make me more visible to other road users? Which should leave the decision whether they are needed or not up to me.

I'm probably just being a whinger but I just found the little altercation I had laughable and highly unreasonable.
What are peoples opinions? Should police be able to enforce you to use foglights, or should the decision be left up to the drivers discretion?
