Dmitri Krioukov, a senior research scientist at UC San
Diego, successfully appealed a failure-to-stop ticket that was issued to him by
using a physics and math argument that swayed a San Diego judge.
He wrote a paper titled “The Proof of Innocence” where he
showed a series of equations and graphs that disputed the claim that the police
officer saw him speed through a stop sign and gave him a ticket.
Krioukov compared the problem to the way a person standing
on the platform sees a train approaching and thinks it is moving slowly, when
it is barreling down the track. He determined that a car moving at a constant
speed can appear to move in the same way as a car that is moving fast but stops
for a short time and then accelerates (http://goo.gl/DW10I).
He also said that the calculations he came up with are very
simple and can be learned by studying this in high school.
Krioukov said the calculations took five to ten minutes to
complete, but when it came to writing the paper, it took a few hours. Doing
this saved him a lot of money as he didn’t have to pay for a lawyer and was
much less expensive.
