Spoilers Hot off the presses Minor Spoilers!

So, the 8 digit plate presumably indicates that this takes place in the (near) future 21st century.
I just checked California DMV. Guessing that eight digits is very new, then...
I think you miscounted, there's seven digits on the Bus's license plate.

Because of comments made during First Contact Day.
And also the teaser trailer. Unless they're deliberately trying to fool us, some sort of time travel is really the only explanation.
There are also rumors that Archer will show up in PIC.
It would be a way to do time travel without involving the Starfleet Time Police.
Pffft, they didn't care about all that went down in Endgame, so...
 
The Time Police were hands-off until they gradually became more hands-on, then "sacrifices had to be made" during The Temporal War, and after that it just became Zero Tolerance.

I think the Time Police's standards and values changed over time. I blame it on changing Administrations who aid that in the future what they did before would become a thing of the past. But while talking about how they'd do things in the future, they only thought in terms of present. ;)

Because if they knew what was coming ahead, they'd probably try to stop it from happening.

Or they decided, "The Hell with it! We'll get whatever we get and this is what we deserve." Conspiracy Theorists in the 32nd Century will probably think the Time Police allowed The Burn to happen. Punishing the Entire Galaxy for whatever sin was committed.
 
Maybe we don't see the time police at work much because they've already done what they needed to do. Somebody dig up the Hitchhiker's Guide quote about all changes to the timeline having already been made.
 
Yeah, I don't think it is a matter of caring its more a matter of what has done the least amount of harm to the timeline.
 
If it was 2020's earth they'd be wearing masks on that bus.
I don't know, there are several TV shows on the air right now that are supposed to be set in modern times but no one's wearing a mask. And yes, they were filmed during the pandemic. Hell, I saw one show recently where they were filming outside an actual store that had a sign on the door saying masks are mandatory for customers, but no one on the show's wearing any masks.
 
Maybe they will finally give us the Klingons trying to kill JFK story we have literally been waiting decades to see. Turns out it was Worf all along. Picard uses the power of his speech to talk him out of it.
Oh my god I was wrong.
It was Worf all along.
You've finally made a Klingon out of me
 
Seven: I've noticed your use of language has altered since our arrival.

Raffi: Oh, that's simply the way they talk here. Nobody pays any attention to you unless you swear every other word.

Seven: Yes, that is quite a bit different. In 2399, I'm used to only swearing every third word. ;)

Raffi: You'll find it off the literature of the period. Admiral Clancy told me and JL all about them... when we were still in Starfleet.

Seven: I believe I should be able to adapt.
