Problem
A story told by Feynman tells of a man who appeared in front of a judge, accused of running a red traffic light. The man's defense was that due to the Doppler effect the red light appeared green as he was approaching it. The judge, who knew physics, accepted the man's defense but fined him very heavily anyway. Why?
