I've heard of a sorta related story. While visiting the UK a few years ago for work I was talking with the relative of a work colleague....this person worked for local UK police.
They were telling me about the case of "Prawo Jazdy". They started to notice that this person was racking up a crazy amount of speeding tickets. Like 5 in a day, even stranger is the tickets were sometimes within a few minutes of each other on completely different sides of the country
They started to think this was some sort of nefarious plot going on, but couldn't figure out who would do this and for what reason....
This continued until a co-worker told them that "Prawo Jazdy" is polish for "Drivers License".
Seems like traffic officers were stopping polish drivers, writing them tickets, but thought "Prawo Jazdy" was the persons name.
Hilarious but also unbelievable.
Kind of the slogan for the entire world these days.
"I don't know whether to laugh or to cry" is my motto
Sounds about right.

Apologies for misspelling and typo
Sounds like a Black Mirror episode. I believe the system is that dumb and nothing will help her ((
Kafka-esque

Serves her right for being a Trekkie.
Beam me up Scottie so I can dodge these tickets
