When the police started putting laptops in the cars rather than primitive 
terminals there was one younger cop on the force who knew his way around. 
You'd hear them on the radio 'Can you meet me at Ruby's on your break and 
teach me how this damn thing works?'

Trivia: One of the gunfights in the Yellowstone series was filmed at 
Ruby's. In real life that would be the worst possible place in town to 
have a gunfight since it's the cops favorite diner.
