Do you think when they get strapped for cash they aren't going to mine that and start mailing out tickets? Actually, we'll be lucky if they mail them out, they could as easily just bill it to the phone like a 900 number and what could you do?

I have had many times that my GPS said I was going over 1000 mph... I fear that ticket.

I had never considered the "Your honor, we are currently traveling at 66,000 mph" argument, but I will next time I get a speeding ticket.

I've always thought we are closer to Brave New World than 1984.

TO revive this thread...

I was reading last months Canadian Business, and noticed an interesting short about Google.

"The search giant received a $7mil fine last month after finally settling the privacy case brought against it by 38 states. At issue was whether Google had violate the privacy of citizens during its Steet View mapping"

So government invading privacy = good, Google invading privacy = fine and a tongue lashing.

You 'mericans be cray

Brave New World always struck me as more viable than 1984. Complacency is easier to foster than fear.

And if we're getting flying cars, women who can be described as "pneumatic", and awesome happy pills, then I welcome our futuristic overlords.
