According to JSOnline.com, mobile computers are responsible for the cops being all up in your grill. Basically. They say that police agencies see a 30% increase in traffic citations once they transition to a computer-based system. And as a result, in Milwaukee, case filings from ticket protests have increased 64% so far this year. From the article:

• Wisconsin law enforcement agencies have a quicker and easier way to write tickets. Instead of scrawling them on paper, many officers now use mobile computers that make issuing tickets easier. As a result, drivers are getting more citations and more of them are showing up in court to deal with their tickets.

So … hold on. Are more tickets being issued because the police have that much more time on their hands – what with computers being so darn fast? Or are more tickets being given out because police are more apt to write them – what with computers being so darn efficient? The article doesn’t really say.

The only thing we can say with any degree of certainty is that – very soon – robots will be taking over the Wisconsin police force (as they have in many other states) and once the RoboOfficers are in charge, the parking tickets will flow like  a raging river of … parking tickets. And robots.
