Droid app gets driver out of speeding ticket
http://translogic.aolautos.com/2011/...eeding-ticket/

Quote:
Sahas Katta got clocked by a cop doing over 40 in a 25 mph zone. He handed over his info and signed the ticket, but then remembered he was running Google MyTracks on his Motorola Droid. For the uninitiated, MyTracks is an Android app that uses the phone's GPS to record and plot where the user has travelled, allowing you to log a jog, bike ride or drive. After looking at the data and doing some research, Katta discovered that he never crested the 25 mph speed limit and decided to fight the ticket.

You can read the entire account over at SkatterTech, but for the tl;dr crowd, the cop didn't know the last time he went through radar training, when the gun was serviced or the unit's model number. OutFrontKatta then busted out the GPS data from his Droid, and after reviewing the evidence and Katta's clean driving record, the judge let him off. Granted, he may have just gotten lucky thanks to a uninformed judge and a hapless cop, but the results all the same.

The cop who taught our defensive driving course said to never argue with a cop over a speeding ticket even if you don't believe it. Just happily take it and go to court to fight it. If you argue they tend to take better notes because they think you may fight it. If you happily take it they tend to forget about the details which will help you in court.

Its actually a very accurate way to do it. Although if you are splitting hairs i guess you have a point. It tracks how far you travel in a set amount if time. Oh wait... Isn't that speed?

Yes, but technically that isn't GPS doing that. I would think that the phone takes the GPS coordinates, measures distance and then notes the time to come up with the speed.

It sure is, I hope Donger was just being facetious.

I'm surprised the Droid had enough battery life to use a GPS app long enough to establish a speed....

He must have had a spare battery...

How would you state it? When my GPS device is on and I'm moving, it displays the speed.

All for only $1499.
