A court has acquitted a Winnipeg, Canada man after the government failed to prove their photo radar system was functioning properly. Brian Segal argued that the camera was "going just like a strobe light in a disco." Absent evidence the device was maintained properly, the judge found Segal not guilty. The Crown is appealing the judge's decision on January 28.
