North Carolina fan uses 'Crying Jordan' to fight speeding ticket; goes as you'd expect

He also missed the important moment of celebrating the Tar Heels national title in Chapel Hill

A North Carolina fan ticketed for speeding on his way to his dissertation in Oxford, Miss., saw his defense case backfire on him after trying to get a little too creative in pleading not guilty.

The UNC fan, a Ph.D. student, tried arguing force and resistance as the cause for his speeding ticket for going 52 MPH in a 40 MPH zone. He completed it with pictures of the vehicle, a lengthy description of the process that took place while he was ticketed, and formulas such as ... a = (F1-F3-F4-F5) / (M * 0.453592).

I wish I could tell you what that formula calculates. But based on his two-page defense, I believe he's arguing that the gravity of the vehicle was a contributing factor. Because he is a Tar Heels fan, he also used "missed the most important moment of celebrating the 2017 NCAA men's basketball champion at Chapel Hill," topped with a crying Jordan meme.

Being a University town affords you some interesting court cases. This was the defendant's reason for going 52 in a 40. Still found guilty. pic.twitter.com/L90ClaaqJg

Amazing.

The better end to this story would have been Oxford police cutting him some slack for sending in a more detailed paper than my college thesis, but he was still found guilty.

At least his team won the national title, even if he didn't get to celebrate in Chapel Hill like the rest of Tar Heel nation.
