Those units don't record every second. The parents have ZERO case in court. They'll be lucky if they aren't laughed out of court. Sure, a GPS will tell you exactly how fast your going but the service they're subscribed to doesn't record every second of every minute you are moving. Can you imagine how much data that would be to store for all their customers? Insane!!!! The only way they'll win is if the prosecution fails to address what I just said. Which is possible, I guess. However the services I looked into don't even record your speed at all. They simply alert you if the driver goes over XX amount. You set the amount. The kid was in a 45, there's no way they set the alert for that. This is a joke right? Those units don’t record every second. The parents have ZERO case in court.
