Tesla's Sentry Mode helps police nab burglar
If you own a Tesla Model 3, there are all chances in the world that someone with ill intentions will try to damage the luxury vehicle.To help you know who scratched the exteriors or whose pet dog watered the tyres, Tesla introduced Sentry Mode, which proved quite useful in a recent case.A man tried to break into a Tesla but his plans were foiled because the Sentry Mode alerted owner Jed Franklin who informed the police about the crime, Mashable reported.The Sentry Mode allowed the police to see the video of 21-year-old Jeremiah Jefferson who broke into a backseat window of the Tesla parked in San Francisco.The feature, introduced in February, is similar to a home alarm. Once triggered, it goes into Standby mode and uses the car's external cameras to detect threats.If it detects someone breaking in, it goes into an Alarm state, increasing the brightness on the display and music on maximum volume. In all cases of threat detection, a message to the owner will be flashed.

Plea against 30-day notice for marriage registration, HC says challenge the law
A plea was moved in the Delhi High Court Tuesday challenging the requirement for 30-day public notice under the Special Marriage Act for registration of a marriage, claiming it to be "arbitrary". The petition, by an NGO, sought striking down of the mandatory requirement of putting up a one month notice to invite objections against a proposed marriage before permitting a couple to wed under the Act. Justice Vibhu Bakhru, before whom the matter was listed for hearing, told the NGO that the Constitutionality of the provision, which lays down the procedure, has to be challenged if it wants to do away with the requirement. The court granted liberty to the NGO to withdraw the plea and file a fresh one challenging the Constitutionality of section 16 of the Special Marriage Act which lays down the procedure for registration of inter-faith marriages. "Dismissed as withdrawn with liberty (to move a fresh plea)," the court said.
