As the nation regarded itself on this split screen, it became apparent that the truths we hold to be self-evident are perhaps evident only to some: justice has a different meaning for the minority motorist pulled over for speeding or for no reason at all.

A motorist lost in the San Fernando Valley can tap into GPS and get an instant position on the digitized map, accurate to the length of a minivan. At its current $1,995 price, GPS is still an expensive option, but rental-car companies are very interested. As prices eventually come down, these locators could become common features in cars...
