Motorola's Police Car Of The Future Is An Unpaid-Ticket-Sniffing Scofflaw Slayer - by Neal Ungerleider | 05-22-2012 | 6:16 PM - The 2012 Chevrolet Caprice PPV is a futuristic cop car with 4G communications and a Knight Rider-like voice interface. It also automatically scans every license plate in its line of vision. The system is equipped to process 10,000 license plates per shift.

If an Essex County lawmaker has her way, every single bicycle in the state of New Jersey will soon have to have a license plate.

Rep. Bill Zedler has filed a bill to require employees at sexually oriented businesses to get a license and display it while working. The conservative lawmaker said he hopes the measure, if it passes, might encourage women to find another line of work. "They won't want to get a license as a stripper from the state of Texas," Zedler said of his legislation. "I think it would keep a lot of girls from getting involved in that lifestyle and basically wrecking their lives. "This will force everyone to clean up their act," he said. "Overall, it will be a benefit to everyone concerned."

I was checking out this new show and was surprised to find the main character promoting ideas on jury nullification, ending drug prohibition, and exposing the "justice" system for what it really is. This show seems promising so far.
