Johnson introduced the law under which he was served a fixed penalty notice. He paid the fine but obviously had the chance, like every other individual in the land to protest his innocence in court. He decided not to do so becoming a criminal in the process.

I'm not sure, but if the punishment is a fine, then it's not a criminal act - in the legal sense.
