Speeding ticket thrown out due to lack of evidence

SAN DIEGO - A San Diego traffic court official dismissed a Temecula woman's citation for using her Google Glass device while allegedly speeding on a local freeway.

Commissioner John Blair ruled that 44-year-old Cecilia Abadie was not actively using the prototype eyeglass-style wearable computer when she was stopped by the California Highway Patrol for allegedly speeding on Interstate 15 near Aero Drive on Oct. 29.

Abadie's speeding ticket was also dismissed due to lack of evidence.

Abadie was among 10,000 "explorers" chosen to try out the devices before they were sold publicly.

4. As I thought it would be.

The law as written is too broad, and almost impossible to enforce as written.
