Actually, I remember a while back there was an issue where a car rental
place back east used the GPS technology in their cars (normally used for
navigation) to fine the driver when the system indicated that the driver was
driving excessively fast. They 'hid' the rules and specifications in the
rental agreement and if you questioned your bill when you turned in the car,
they would show you the rental agreement and then show you on a map the
exact location where you were speeding and the exact speed at which you were
traveling.

That's an interesting idea that I hadn't thought about... If GPS was
allowed to be used for law enforcement they could develop thresholds in
which it would automagically mail you a ticket... actually this may not
happen because they couldn't be sure if the owner of the vehicle was
actually driving... but it could prompt authorities to attempt to intersect
you and pull you over, I'd imagine.

GPS tracking would not surprise me.
As much as we live in the now. So much of life is reflected in the shows and
movies we watch of the future.
Does anyone remember the show Sea Quest?
On the first show of the second season the Captain was fined for speeding on
his motorcycle. He was told via radio transmission in his helmet that he
was speeding and fined so much money and it would be automatically taken
from his bank account.
I was floored to see it then and so it doesn't surprise me to hear about it
now.
There were several new tech items on that show that are real today.
Just observation,
WhtWolf, Sherri
