Stupid Attorney taling about GPS's
I never read anything about this Scott Petersen murder trial before. I saw a headline about a "GPS." I started to read it and I guess the guys car had a GPS in it and the prosecution is trying to place him at the murder scene. Well the defense attorney is saying the GPS is inaccurate due to a malfunction and made the moronic comment of: ------------- Peterson's attorney, Mark Geragos, argued that the information gathered through global positioning system technology was not accurate. GPS uses signals from dozens of satellites to show a receiver's position to within a few feet. "If the FAA will not approve GPS for the landing of an aircraft, how can a court of law approve its forensic use in a capital case?" he said. -------------- I don't know if they are approved for auto-landing but I'm fairly certain it can get me a few hundred feet AGL on the exact glideslope of an airport 8000 miles away. I'd generally consider that accurate enough. grin My handheld GPS-V for my car has lead me to within a few feet of the front *main* door of places in Amsterdam, Rome, New York and San Francisco. I'd generally consider that accurate. Gerald |
