a man named dimitri crewcut has used physics to fight a four hundred dollar
tracking ticket traffic ticket he was accused by police officer who pulled
them over of rolling past the stop sign without coming to a complete complete
stop now instead of paying the ticket are going to traffic school he's a
physicist he thought that the ticket
writing a four page paper
explaining how the ticket he was given actually defies is inputting header
a four page paper al twining angular and linear motion any prepared the paper for
the judge
and he was able to prove his innocence based on
obey some physical just quite remarkable really
i guess
what the paper explained what officer thought he saw with the paper somehow
prove that officer did not actually witness what he thought he would not be
any item that was what the officers saw
would be easily confused by the angle of speed of the hypothetical object that
failed to stop at the stop sign and therefore what the officer saw
didn't properly riff uh... reflect reality which was completely different
i wouldn't really recommend though that others try the physics defense because
crew cub says that it was the specific angles and scenario this involved in
this attract xd op that allowed him to have this defense holdup uh... by the
way when asked if he really stopped at the stop sign he responded of course i
did of course he was smiling when he said
but my question is i didn't know that you could
ticketed four hundred dollars for missing a stop sign
this depends on the state
yet must we talked a little while ago about ah...
uh... alike in oakland
that brought in uh... would would when the cameras abroad in a ridiculous
amount of money year yeah
and i think we determined that the ticket prices were just a courageous
some red like andrea
there if i had to take it or i tried to kind of used
that i i i think i got to take it when i was like eighteen
and uh... either i decided to fight it as i was told always fight it
and a friend of mine said we should do is you should go in there and you should
uh... star asking when was the spirit of the uh... radar calibrated and when was
the officer trained to use that radar all sorts of stuff and had this whole
list of questions ready to go
and ice showed up there
and basically just started saying you know i don't see i i was so nervous and
i was just mumbling my word that i was like yeah i i don't see where was that
when was this officer train that was the evidence the record that he was trained
with that radar and they have a police officer messages at the top and one
officer who represents this state for all of those tickets for that day and
the guy just kinda said
uh... trust me disguised qualified to use that piece of equipment
i don't know if i and i just kind of didn't know what to say i said ok and
does that have pity i think they agreed to drop a ticket to the minimum speeding
ticket five which at the time was like fifty dollars or something
and i know more i would have said
since one is someone's word that they are qualified to do something uh...
valid from the point of view of the state i think i would have handled it a
little bit differently but at the time the guys that trust me i know this
officer he's trying to use that
and i just about the empire but received one ticket back for it
and basically all i said was there's no way i was going as fast as the officer
said i was going and i i just brought it down i said but i think he caught me at
like over eighty and i said there's no way i was going over seventy five
and uh... so just like okay i'll take your word to your going seventy five
were me you know
i don't know like two hundred fifty dollars off the ticket what i think it's
not if if
it's not really worth their time to spend too much time on these things the
officers want to leave it setter yet you would think that a four page physics
paper is probably going to do the trick
probably
i guess the problem has been one of the with it
but next time you take it you know just uh... just state that you're going to
steven and say it was impossible that then i thought you going to speed it did
and who knows they want to know that work together on today's bonus so will
talk about a new mobile strip club truck that's going around san francisco
will also talk about yet another state banning texting while driving will talk
a little is about whether he is good at texting while driving et cetera they did
