With so many machines and technological devices around us everyday, we tend to trust them implicitly. We assume that they must be right, rarely stopping to consider that some machines are older than others and that these older machines are prone to error.

Such was the case when eighteen-year-only Shaun Malone found himself accused to speeding. According to police radar, Shaun was driving at a speed of 62 miles per hour in a zone where the speed limit was 45 mph. However, because Malone’s parents had installed a Rocky Mountain Tracking GPS device in his car, he was able to plead “Not Guilty” to speeding.

How was that possible, you ask? It was possible because the GPS tracking device employs the every latest technology. The GPS device sends out a signal every 30 seconds, as well as an email alert whenever the driver exceeds the speed of 70 mph. Evidence gathered from the tracking device proved that Shaun Malone was not speeding as the police radar had concluded he was; he was actually driving at the speed limit.

Malone’s parents certainly did not want to catch him speeding, but they probably didn’t imagine that Malone would be unfairly accused of speeding and that the tracking device would be key in proving his innocence.
