The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Pot Cops is an American reality television series that aired on the Discovery Channel. The show premiered on February 20, 2013, during Discovery Channel's programming block titled "Weed Wednesdays", along with Weed Country. The series followed dealers, growers and patients of the marijuana trade in Humboldt County, California, located within the Emerald Triangle, along with the enforcers of the law at the Humboldt County Sheriff's office. Well known Humboldt County grower Timothy Littlefield is featured prominently in an episode where a garden was raided in a joint investigation with the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office and the Bureau of Indian Affairs Police. Pot Cops highlighted the difficulty that Humboldt County law enforcement officers faced in enforcing marijuana laws in California, after the passage of Proposition 215 in 1996 and before Proposition 64 in 2016.
