GPS Used As Defence In Radar Speeding Case

Posted by kdawson on from the could-be-onto-something dept.

James Thigpen writes "There is an article over at Ars Technica about an accused speeder contesting his speeding ticket based on his car's built-in GPS system's records. According to the article his car says he was going slower than the radar gun clocked him at. Contesting a ticket based on GPS data has never before been tested in court."

    Speed limit laws need to be made unprofitable for the government and then maybe we can get our freedom back on the roads.

    What the hell does this mean? You want no speed limits?
    I, for one, am glad that asshat speeders like this get tickets for speeding. Assuming the radar gun is correct, 62 in a 45 is totally unacceptable. The kid should have his license revoked. Even his parents admit he has a leadfoot. And his dad is a fucken cop. WTF..
