also there are tons of calibration and other issues associated with that defense.. the same arguments that apply to get out of speeding tickets could be used to argue why that is inadmissible as proof
bet you it was something like the gps lost signal and interpolated speed based on distance covered over the time the signal was lost.. if the the kid was stopped already that would lower his average speed

You cant charge anyone after they erase their logs....Im sure after every night they d/l the info, read it and delete it.
This kid has a good case, because if it took 60 seconds to relay information then the gps would likely log a lost reception error at the time he was caught.
They use gps for F1 races I cant see it having a delay of that long.
I drive a 2010 Golf that growls at people when it goes over 3000rpm.
