AOL Autos recounts the story of Sahas Katta. Katta received a radar ticket for over 40 in a 25 mph zone. At the time he was running
Google MyTracks on his Motorola Droid. 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 violated the 25 mph speed limit so he decided to fight the ticket.

Skattertech, however, at trial the officer could not recall when he was last trained on the use of radar or when the gun was serviced. After Katta introduced the GPS data from his Droid, and after reviewing the evidence and Katta's clean driving record, Katta was found not guilty of the speeding violation.
