U-TURN VERDICT SPINS 180


Dodgeball founder Dennis Crowley is not your average gadget-wielding, old school Range Rover driving, craps playing, law abiding, DJ-ing, mobile social software pioneer, but that hasn't made Google fame go to his head. In fact, in many ways he's a lot like you and me; he too drives on the same side of the road as everyone else. So when a pesky Chinatown NYPD traffic cop in one of those hobbit cruisers pulled him over for an illegal U-turn on Delancey (in a "business district"), it's no surprise Dennis was a bit befuddled. No way was he gonna fight this analog-style. Read the dramatic saga here (part 1) and here (the verdict) to find out how our hero was able to digi-cam his way out of a ticket and into traffic court history.
