Tell that to UPS and Fedex in NYC, who are constantly ticketed for double parking and other traffic violations. They just pay up.
Recently heard this tidbit, redacted to protect the guilty. Execs from the Fortune 500 company would take the corporate helicopter from the helipad on their HQ in the city to their offices in the suburban office park. Basically it's five minutes by helicopter, thirty minutes by limo. It's against the town ordinances to actually land a helicopter in the office park, so they were fined $4000 every time they did it, which was apparently about once a week. They paid it.
We'd be one step closer to utopia if parked cars could re-align the space between them as cars enter and leave, rather than leave those infuriating gaps between them that are too small for a car, but way more than needed to pull the car out.
And yes, with all the needed safety and security precautions this would entail.
AND YES, angled street parking would be a solution, but you'd have to go full Robert Moses in some neighborhoods to make that happen, and we'd rather not.
The law is a cab is legally bound to take you anywhere in the five boroughs, whether they want to or not. Of course, if you tell them where you want to go before you get in, there's not much you can do to force the issue, except maybe getting their plate number and report it, which you probably won't do anyway. So savvy NYers don't give up the destination until they're in the cab.
Long story short, a system that requires you provide both the pickup AND arrival points will require some serious clampdowns to keep uptowners and outer-borough folk from being left out in the cold.
I understand that Pepsi has a trademark on the particular shades of blue and red used on their products. If you made a soft drink using those shades, Pepsi would come down on you like a bag of hammers.
Would you depend on this vehicle if your life was at stake. Tesla can certainly bring it, but the internal combustion engine has over a century of demonstrated reliability.
Although there's noting like a good serious apron if you're working working on stuff. Lab work? Painting? Engine rebuild? Cleaning the basement? Grilling up a mess of bacon? Wear an apron.
Say one were to actually track down the sumbitches who did it, had undeniable proof they did it, and they were arrested and prosecuted. Sure you could charge them with computer fraud, illegal wire interception, and the like, but would or could the government prosecute them for actual theft, or try to compel them to return the coins as part of a plea?
I was actually wondering earlier, if suddenly anarchy reigned supreme and smoking in bars was no longer illegal, what's the most minimally intrusive headgear bar staff could use to protect themselves against secondhand smoke? (Not just assuming the bar would have air purification systems installed out the ying-yang anyway.)
'How you doing, Dixie?'
'I'm dead, Case. Got enough time in on this Hosaka to
figure that one.'
'How's it feel?'
'It doesn't.'
'Bother you?'
'What bothers me is, nothin' does.'
'How's that?'
'Had me this buddy in the Russian camp, Siberia, his thumb
was frostbit. Medics came by and they cut it off. Month later
he's tossin' all night. Elroy, I said, what's eatin' you? Goddam
thumb's itchin', he says. So I told him, scratch it. McCoy, he
says, it's the other goddam thumb.' When the construct laughed,
it came through as something else, not laughter, but a stab of
cold down Case's spine. 'Do me a favor, boy.'
'What's that, Dix?'
'This scam of yours, when it's over, you erase this goddam
thing.'

Hey, glad to help you use up your free time. You're welcome.
I shall rephrase for those who are more about answering questions than parsing sentences:
If one or either party violates the agreement, does anything of consequence happen? If so, what?

A fine? And if the business is willing to pay it as the cost of doing business?

Notably cash is anonymous in legal transactions, but only up to a point:

I wonder if the IRS considers this applicable to *coin equivalent transactions as well.
