I just read this post about a situation where an "officer of the law" gave a citation to a driver in a questionable situation. I wouldn't usually search for this type of thing, or even write about it here, but the greatest part about the story is how the driver used google maps in traffic court to prove the police officer wrong (call out her lie) to have the ticket thrown out.

Being a driver in a similar situation a few years ago I got pulled over with three other people in the car (this guy, this chick, and another guy sans url we will call Z) who were all right there, and heard as the officer blatantly lied about my violation. Luckily I got out of the ticket as well in traffic court, but still to this day it amazes me that the officer did what he did in the thick of the east village in Manhattan on a Friday night. I didn't get to see the officer when the charge got thrown out because he didn't show, but I can just imagine what it must have been like to see the look on the cop's face when a laptop and quick thinking got the best of her.
