A Car Parked in a Museum Received a Traffic Camera Ticket in the US (2 photos)
The car KITT from the American television series "Knight Rider" (1982-1986) received a speeding ticket in New York City, despite having been on display at the Volo Museum in Illinois for several years. A speed camera recorded the car speeding 11 mph over the limit: when the speed limit was 25 mph (40 km/h), it was supposedly traveling 36 mph (58 km/h). The fine was $50, Autoblog reports, citing a statement from the museum. 
The issue is that the actual car that violated the law had souvenir license plates with the text "Knight." The camera mistook them for the real thing and issued a ticket to the Knight's license plate, which was assigned to the museum exhibit.
To prove its innocence, the museum sent a screenshot from the surveillance camera, confirming that the car was inside the building at the time it allegedly exceeded the speed limit, approximately 1,450 kilometers from the exhibit. 
Adding to the bizarreness of the situation is the fact that, according to the "Knight Rider" scenario, KITT was controlled by AI, and AI is also responsible for recognizing violations from the cameras.
The museum's KITT is a replica of the original car, based on a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, built in 1991. This car did not take part directly in the filming.
