Hmmm...apparently there is an assumption that the dollar will still be
a valid currency by then. Euros or pesos would have made the
futuristic gadget more realistic. Nice one.

We should have both re-examined the gadget...it's set up for a
cashless society, as in electronic funds transfer for fine payment on
the spot. That would keep the $$$ (or functional equivalent) out of
the cop's hands.

That IS pesos. The symbol is the same.

There's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can
result in a fully-depreciated one.

Something you must just love: people presumed guilty and penalized
before they even do something. Just the fasicistic world you would
thrive in isn't it??

Clearly this isn't very accurate. It says the guy was driving a 2054
Ford. Any bets they won't be around then?

My money would be on them being a subsidiary of Honda, Toyota or Nissan
by then.
