i've seen this one in print in reputable newspapers.  most recently in
langhorne, pa (philly area).  the old lady got off when the state
trooper couldn't get her car to go fast enough.  this doesn't happen
often though.

that's scary... a judge saying "we have inaccurate equipment and can
not consider our evidence reliable, but since you're here, let's
ticket you for something..."  it throws the whole "innocent until
proven guilty" thing right out the window.
