Google Maps Saves the Day


Was browsing articles and found this one about How Google Maps got this guy out of a traffic ticket in NY.. pretty sweet if you ask me.

The officer who issued the ticket told the judge that this guy was driving down a one way street when he supposedly ran a red light. Edwin, the guy with the ticket told the judge this wasn’t correct — it was a two-way street — and pulled out his laptop, found a faint but usable WiFi connection, and loaded the Google Map page of the intersection where the alleged violation occurred. “The judge said that due to lack of memory of the officer she will have to dismiss the violation.” (Of course, Edwin will now probably be locked away for stealing precious Internet resources by using the unsecured WiFi connection.)

Also, anything look strange about this Sand Dune formation in South America?
