Case pits police radar against GPS in teen’s car

Teenager issued a speeding ticket has GPS in his car, which his parents use to ensure he’s obeying traffic laws. Result:

The family says, based on the data, that Malone was going the posted speed limit of 45 mph on Lakeville Highway the morning of July 4 at virtually the same time and location where a Petaluma motorcycle officer used radar to cite the teen for going 62 mph.

Bonus points: the teenager’s father is a retired sheriff’s lieutenant.

This sort of thing is probably going to become more and more common as GPS works its way further into daily life.
