Here in Germany we have somewhat similar cases, but where the accusation is way less damaging than the case of this article, in which a false positive would have the drastic result of being labeled a murderer. The cases are related to new speeding cameras which work with laser, where the defendants are complaining that these new devices are black boxes, and that they demand access to the raw data which these devices process. The problem is that these devices discard the raw data after having processed it and come to a conclusion that the driver was or was not speeding. The devices in question are Traffistar S350 from Jenoptik and PoliScan SM1 from Vitronic. There were discussions about a required software update which retains all this data, but apparently the devices lack the storage capability to do so. The National Metrology Institute of Germany (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB)) responded to this, that they would not re-certify these devices with updated software because from their point of view they work "as specified".
