I heard some guy here took a speeding ticket to court - and won.

The reason? His car wasn't breaking the speed limit. The bus on the 
other side of the road was.

In short, the machine is /not/ always right.

Now, the real WTF: Why the hell was a bus [which is government property] 
breaking the speed limit? And was the driver prosecuted??
