The young “Mateo” (Erick Lopez) is heading to work one morning when he is apprehended by an automated policeman, forced to put on hand-cuffs and incarcerated - all without seeing or speaking to an human being.

At a time when there is talk of removing juries from some trials in the UK, this offers quite an unnervingly plausible look at just how that process of gradual erosion might actually turn out as automation becomes easier, cheaper, and cleaner - especially when visited upon those with limited resources to combat this quite scary pay-as-you-go culture.

Worth twenty minutes, and I’d be surprised if it doesn’t resonate on some level with all of our day-to-day lives just a little.
