This story is so dumb, the character &quot;Jae&quot; was right -- don&#x27;t call a cab when you&#x27;re carrying illegal things in your purse. The character in the story destroyed the Taxy by causing it to swerve off a bridge. If graffiti supplies gets you 1 year in prison in this version of the future, I&#x27;m sure the penalty for destroying a car in an attempt to evade the police is maybe just a little bit higher.<p>This is not really dystopian or futuristic so much as it is realistic - if you do illegal things, then engage in suspicious behavior that attracts the attention of the police, you get arrested. Big surprise.<p>I could easily write a short story about withdrawing $300 from an ATM, driving to my drug dealer&#x27;s house, parking outside of his house, waiting there for 15 minutes, then he climbs inside my car and the police light us up. At that point I could A. Plead the 5th and hire a lawyer when I get out of jail or B. Slip past the police and slash their tires before running into the woods and making my way back to my place - how heroic - before just getting arrested on way worse charges as soon as the police can get to my house
