The Sydney biohacker who fell foul of the law when he implanted a NSW travel card chip into his arm says "cyborg justice has been served" after a court overturned his conviction.
Meow-Ludo Disco Gamma Meow-Meow - his legal name - pleaded guilty to attempting to travel without a ticket and not showing a ticket for inspection in August 2017.
But Meow-Meow, who had implanted an Opal chip in his hand in a surgical procedure, had tapped on according to the ticket inspector's Opal reader.
He was fined $220 and ordered to pay $1000 in legal costs at Newtown Local Court in March.
A conviction for attempting to travel without a ticket was recorded at the time.
But Meow-Meow appealed arguing no conviction should have been recorded and the fine should be quashed.
A District Court judge ruled in his favour on Monday, although the 33-year-old must still pay the $1000 prosecution costs.
"I'll have to pay costs ... but won the moral victory," he told supporters in a post on Facebook.
"Cyborg Justice has been served."
